Brief Description:  Landing gear install

Landing gear was installed with help of friends.
Main gear slid into place easily.
Was able to use reamer to bring holes to final size.
Wheel and brake assembly went on fine though had to do it twice as I had the wheel pant bracket facing the wrong way.
I also noticed only after the install was done that the Matco brake caliper was hitting the bolt holding the brake assembly to the gear. The trick here is that the head of this bolt needs to be toward the rear of the plane.
The axle nut cotter pins are tricky to get into place but I am getting good at it now.
The nose gear shock 'donuts' needed to be compressed about 3/8" in order to get the bolt it. This took the full weight of a couple of guys to do.
The plane rolled easily into the garage with just enough clearance. Plane is nearly balance at this point, but slightly tail heavy.
