Installing and Aligning the Wheel Pants
To install the wheel pants you need to jack up the aircraft.
You may also want to put the gear leg fairing in place to
check how the fairing pieces fit to each other.
Alignment Guidelines...
Align using the following guidelines:
• Tilt the wheel pant until it is approximately level.
• The wheel pant’s center line should be parallel to the
aircraft’s center line.
The easiest method of accomplishing this is to draw a line
on the floor showing the center line of the wheel. Then
simply sight from above the wheel pant and align the wheel
pant to the center line. You can also use the fuselage center
line for aligning the wheel pant.
The fairings should be level and straight when the aircraft
is in flight.
Figure S.5.A.4 Main wheel pant alignment
Bottom edge of the wheel pant
and the edge of the wheel rim
should be aligned (at the same
level).
Trim as necessary all the way
around the bottom edge of the
wheel pant.
Bend bracket tabs or do a flox
release (or both) to make the
bracket and wheel pant connect.
Then secure the wheel pant to the
bracket using #10 crews and
nutplates.
Place the wheel pant in position by:
• Jack up the plane.
• Slide the front over the bracket and wheel.
• Next slide the rear of the wheel pant back and
down into place.
The wheel pant should be in a horizontal position as you
proceed to align it.
Tip:
When the plane is set back on the floor, roll it
back and forth to allow the gear to relax into its
normal position.

Steps....
1. Cut the head off and sharpen the shank of an
appropriate length AN4 bolt.
2. Screw the bolt into the axle under the wheel
fairing.
3. Align the wheel pant using the Alignment
Guidelines... instructions.
4. When the wheel pant is positioned set the bolt
location by tapping the side of the wheel pant so
the bolt you placed in the axle leaves an
indentation on the inside of the wheel pant.
• The washer and standoff set the inboard/
outboard alignment of the wheel pant.
5. Drill out the resulting hole.
6. Cut the bushing to match the gap between
fairing and axle.
7. On the inboard side, match drill through the
wheel pant and the bracket.
8. Install nutplates in the resulting holes in the
bracket.
