Brief Description:  Install Main Wheels and Brakes

1642 - 1912 1942 - 2018

Grease and install main wheel bearings.

Install wheels per Vans plans, using Matco spacers.

Drill new holes in vans axle nut to relocate holes in axles to accomodate the Matco spacer and washer. Verify adequate edge distance on all holes and end of axle. The new holes are approximately 9/32" from edge of nut.

Install nut per Matco instructions, remove play and tighten slighty, seals remain stationary. Count number of turns on nut.

Remove nut and wheel.

Thread nut on axle to the previously recorded number of turns...6 1/4 left main beginning from front...7 1/4 turns right main starting from top.

Match drill holes through nut and axle.

Remove nut and debur all holes.

Install Matco caliper and disc on landing gear.

++++NOTE DO NOT INSTALL THE BRAKE PLATE BOLT PER VANS INSTRUCTIONS++++

The bolt needs to be installed with the head to the REAR of the aircraft or the nut will interfere with the brake caliper!

We had to turn the bolts around.

Install wheel and bearings, washer, and axle nut. Tighten to previous value. I will need to remove them again to install the axle extensions so I did not install cotter pin.

Repeat for opposite side, which took literally only 36 minutes to do...

Lower the aircraft onto it's gear!!!! The Eagle has landed!
