8. Locate the carbon fiber main landing gear, 2 axles, 2 washers, 2 locking
nuts, 2 wheels, 2 wheel collars and the 2 wheel pants from the hardware
package. Place the threaded portion of the axle through the hole in the
carbon gear, slide a washer over the threaded portion and screw the lock nut
onto the axle, but do not tighten completely. Place the wheel onto the axle and
secure with a wheel collar. There is a slot pre-cut in the wheel pant to allow
it to fit over the axle. Before installing the wheel pant place a drop of silicon
based glue onto the wheel pant just above the pre-cut slot. This will prevent
the wheel pant from rotating, but allow it to move in the case of a mishap
which may help to prevent damage. Slide the wheel pant into position over
the axle and tighten the nut on the axle, taking care to make sure the wheel
pant is positioned properly. Repeat this process for the remaining wheel pant.
Again this is probably better explained in the following series of pictures
