Brief Description:  Axle and Landing gear bolts/nuts

The longer bolts I ordered from Aircraft Spruce showed up very quickly, so I could install them on the axles tonight. I removed the two short bolts, installed all four bolts on both sides, torqued the nuts to 85"/lbs, and installed the brakes and wheels. Reviewing the paperwork from Grove, I noticed that they spec 90"/lbs, so I pulled the wheels off and retorqued to 90. She looks more balanced with both wheels on. I also tightened the landing gear nuts, but I need the proper 12-point socket to torque them.
