Main Undercarriage 2

 Axles are removed and the Wheel pant bracket is captured behind the 4 bolt heads on the inside of the undercarriage leg.



The main axles are secured by the 4 bolts. Chance now to pack the inner wheel bearings with grease before sliding the wheel onto the axle. In order to facilitate wheel removal the disc ring is easily removed from the wheel using a 5mm Allen key.
