Sent the nose gear truss and strut out for powder coating. Got a 3/8 dia X 8" bolt and inserted it thru the nose wheel axel, put a nut on it and wraped some tape around the threads for grip, then chucked it into the drill press ( a longer bolt would of been better). It took about 30 min to file down the diameter of the axel about 0.014 inches to fit the wheel hub.
