=== Before You Start === | |||
Special/New Tools/Supplies | |||
* You will need Aeroshell #5 grease for the wheel bearings; even if you use other types of wheels, you will need grease for this section in general. | |||
* You will need either a 0.311 drill bit or reamer for drilling the main gear legs mounts | |||
* You *might* need a 3/8" reamer for the nose wheel axle | |||
* Some people consider lock nuts to be one-time use so consider using other hardware to test-fit and/or ordering some extra lock nuts especially if you have to re-work anything as you go (MS21045-6, AN365-428, AN365-524, etc). | |||
Modifications to Consider | |||
* There are other wheel/brake options that are offered by Van's and third-parties. If you go with Beringer, [https://www.airplane.build/2020/12/main-landing-gear-installed.html this blog will be helpful]. | |||
* Consider [https://flyboyaccessories.com/products/rv-jack-points-rv-10 jack points] so that you can change a tire with a standard car jack. Put these on after the brake assembly is on the main gear struts (you may not be able to get the brake assembly onto the strut with these in place). | |||
=== Notes === | |||

* If you are planning on using [[Skybolt Hints|Skybolt]] camlocks instead of hinge pins around the firewall, consider laying out those brackets after temporarily installing the engine mount (Step 1) to make sure you don't have interference with the engine mount and the fasteners. Then, after removing the engine mount (Step 2) it will be easier to rivet those in place. | * If you are planning on using [[Skybolt Hints|Skybolt]] camlocks instead of hinge pins around the firewall, consider laying out those brackets after temporarily installing the engine mount (Step 1) to make sure you don't have interference with the engine mount and the fasteners.
