Brief Description: Installed Main gear Tires on Wheels
Today I tackled putting tubes and tires on the main rims. The rims are in two halfs and the tube needs to be installed over the rims and you must make sure that the tube does not get pinched between the halfs. The mains are not that difficult because they go together pretty easy without having to push on the rims, unlike the Nose wheel.
The tube installed in the tire before the Rim is inserted.
