Step 1. Install the axles in the landing gear as shown and
secure in place using an adjustable wrench.
Note: A plywood mounting plate is glued in place inside the
wheel pants for mounting the pant to the landing gear.
Step 2. Mark the position on the wheel pant where the axle will
pass through on the plywood side. It's helpful to hold the wheel
in place over the wheel pant to judge the correct position. Mark
the position on both pants with a pen, being sure to mark on the
same side that the plywood plate is installed.
