Brief Description: Hydraulic Brakes And Wheels Final Mounting.

Mounted hydraulic brake assemblies to the axle assemblies. Had to fully seat the bearing cups into the wheel housing. Then packed bearing with red high-temp wheel bearing grease. Installed wheels onto the axle/brake assemblies and tightened the axle nuts to turn with light drag and no wobble. Have not drilled the axle cotter in holes for the castle nuts yet.

Installed axle/hydraulic brake assembly.

Wheels installed with hydraulic brakes.

Main landing gear install completed, less the castle nut cotter pin holes in the axles.
