Brief Description:  Install Main Gear Leg Fairings

1324 - 1530 1630 - 1730

Trim and smooth gear stiffener f/g cloth wrap.

I decided to replace the nyloc nuts on the wheel fairing bracket and axle flange with all metal lock nuts. This change was precipitated from forum advice that indicated that the was sufficient heat in proximity to the brakes to soften the nylon in the nyloc nuts.

Remove brake disc.

Remove axle cotter pin.

Remove axle nut, wheel, bearings, and spacer.

Replace axle flange nyloc with metal locknut.

Replace 4 fairing bracket nylocs with metal locknuts.

Replace spacer, bearings, wheel, axle nut, and cotter pin.

Repeat for other side.

Install flexible brake line. unfortunately, it appears that the lines are about 3/4" too long and they will not lay flat against the gear leg. I have contacted Tom at TS Flightlines for advice.
