 3. Slide a #6 washer on each of the two 6-32 x 1/2-inch
button head cap screws. Install the screws through the
landing gear strut springs, then through the landing gear.
Use a 3/32-inch hex wrench to tighten the screws.
 4. Attach the wheel pants to the landing gear using
four 4-40 x 1/2-inch button head cap screws and four #4
washers. Tighten the screws using 5/64-inch hex wrench.
 5. With the landing gear fairing as close to the fuselage
as possible, apply a small amount of silicone adhesive to
the plywood inside the landing gear fairing. Slide the fairing
tight against the fuselage and use low-tack tape to hold it in
position until the adhesive cures. Gluing the fairing to the
gear will allow the gear to be removed without damaging
the fuselage.
