Step 6
Slide the wheel pant over the axle and wheel. Use a
4-40 x 1/2-inch socket head screw and a #4 washer
to secure the wheel pant to the landing gear.
Note
: Use threadlock on the screws to
prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Step 7
Loosen the setscrews in the two wheel collars. Position
the wheel so it is centered in the wheel pant, then use the
wheel collars to secure the wheel. Make sure the wheel
collars are not pressed too tightly against the wheel or it
may not be able to roll freely.
Note
: Use threadlock on the screws to
prevent them from vibrating loose in flight.
Step 8
Repeat Steps 2 through 7 for the remaining wheel and
wheel pant installation.
Step 4
Secure one of the 5/32-inch wheel collars to the axle
near the gear using a setscrew and the supplied hex
wrench. The position of the wheel collar will be adjusted
later in this section.
Step 5
Slide the wheel onto the axle, then install a second
wheel collar.
