screw. Slide the screw into the wheel. Make sure the

fl ashing that may be interfering with the rotation of the
wheel on the screw.

71. Thread the screw into the landing gear strut. Make sure
the wheel can rotate freely on the screw. Tighten the
setscrew using a 2mm hex wrench to secure the screw.

 It may be necessary to add an additional
washer to provide clearance between the wheel

(3mm) gap between the gear door and wing. Use four M3

1-degree). Adjustments can be made by loosening the
two setscrews on the strut near the mount using a
1.5mm hex wrench.

exaggerated so it can be seen clearly in the photo.
