2. Use an adjustable wrench and 7mm nut driver or
box wrench to secure the axle to the landing gear.
3. Install the first wheel collar so it is 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) away from the edge of the outer axle nut
as shown.
4. Slide the wheel pant over the axle. The wheel
will need to be placed on the exle, then a second
wheel collar installed. Use a 1.5mm hex wrench or
ball driver to lower the wheel collar into position. If
you tighten the setscrew it will keep it from falling
into the wheel pant accidentally. The position of the
wheel collar will be adjusted once the wheel pant is
secured to the landing gear.
5. Use two 2mm x 8mm sheet metal screws
to secure the wheel pant to the landing gear.
The screws will require the use of a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten them. Make sure the wheel
pant is tight against the landing gear before
starting the screws.
6. Use your 1.5mm hex wrench or ball driver to
tighten the setscrew to secure the outer wheel collar.
Make sure the wheel can rotate freely on the axle.
