    Default installing wheel pants

    I'm finally getting around to permanently mounting the pants on. My question is on the nose gear. The bushing will not fit into the axle. Looks like I need to grind about 1/16 inch off of the whole thing. Instructions do not say anything about grinding or filing off. Any thoughts???

    thanks in adavance

    I recall chucking those up in a drill press and hitting them with a file till they fit.

    Spent an hour with the dremel filing them down til they fit. Will need longer 10/32 screws with the spacer but I think they will work fine. Thanks for the reply Dorsal.
