Brief Description:  Left Wheel Done

Got the left wheel mounted on the left gear leg. First I primed the fairing attach bracket, for both wheels, then installed all the parts of the wheel. I took the wheel apart and removed both bearings on the left wheel, and re-packed them with fresh grease. Then assembled the wheel. The hard part was drilling the hole for the cotter pin and keeping the threads relatively clean so I could install the aluminum lug nut. I installed the cotter pin, but didn't bend the ends over, just in case I have to remove the wheel for some reason. All other bolts torqued and torque seal applied. Inflated and deflated tire a few times to set the tube correctly, then inflated to 25psi. Not sure if that's the final psi. Just for reference, the tire pressure on each of 8 main tires on a Boeing 757 is 180 psi. Olympics start today, that's cool, I like the olympics.
