GREAT PLANES Super Stearman Instruction Manual page 27

1/4 ounce [2cc] of 6-minute epoxy and a small amount of
microballoon filler. Locate one of the plywood wheel pant
plates and glue it inside the pant, aligning the hole in the
plate with the hole you made in the side of the pant. Clamp
the plate to the pant and allow the glue to fully cure.
4. Install the axle and axle nut onto both sides of the
landing gear. Slide onto the right axle: the wheel pant, 3/16"
[5mm] wheel collar and 6-32 x 1/4" [6mm] socket head cap
screw followed by the wheel and another wheel collar and
socket head cap screw. Slide the other wheel onto the left
axle. Both wheels must be on the axles to assure accuracy
of the measurement of the wheel pant in the next step.
5. Adjust the wheel pant until the center of the trailing
edge of the wheel pant measures 2-1/8" [54mm] from
the workbench.
6. Holding the wheel pant in that position, drill a 1/16"
[1.6mm] hole through each of the mounting holes in the landing
gear and into the wheel pant. Secure the pant to the landing
gear with two #2 x 1/2" [13mm] screws and #2 washers.
7. Center the wheel in the wheel pant with the two
wheel collars. Hold the collars in place with the screws. Mark
the location where the screw contacts the axle. Remove the
wheel pants, wheel and wheel collars from the axle. Apply a
couple of drops of thin CA into the two holes you drilled in
the wheel pant.
8. File a flat spot on the axle on the mark you made.
Re-install the wheel pant, wheel and wheel collars onto the
axle. Center the wheel and tighten the screws against the axle.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for the left wheel pant.
