Brief Description:  Main Gear

Temporarily installed axles and checked the toe-in value per plans. I had a slight toe-in where the string was raised off of the 1/2 inch block by about 1/16 of an inch. Felt that this was okay and did not need shims.
Final installed axles, brake brackets, and fairing brackets and roqued bolts to 75 inch pounds.
Took the tires and tubes and wheels to William Waggoner's shop on the airport and packed the wheel bearings with Areoshell #5 grease. Powdered inside of tires and installed tubes and then installed tires onto the split wheels and torqued bolts to 90 inch pounds.
Aired up tires with nitrogen to 35psi and balanced tires.
Went back to the hanger and installed wheels onto axles and tightened down per plans.
Will drill out the hole for cotterpin in next session.
