69. Slide the M5 washer on the M5 x 45 socket head cap
screw. Slide the screw into the wheel. Make sure the
wheel rotates freely on the screw. If not, use a hobby
knife with a #11 blade or 5mm drill bit to remove any
fl ashing that may be interfering with the rotation of the
wheel on the screw.
70. Slide the M5 plastic spacer 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.
 Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners.
 It may be necessary to add an additional
washer to provide clearance between the wheel
and strut if the wheel rubs against the strut.
72. Position the gear door mounts so there will be a 1/8-inch
(3mm) gap between the gear door and wing. Use four M3
x 6 button head screws to attach the gear doors to the
gear door mounts.
73. Check that there is a slight amount of toe-in (roughly
1-degree). Adjustments can be made by loosening the
two setscrews on the strut near the mount using a
1.5mm hex wrench.
 The amount of toe-in shown has been
exaggerated so it can be seen clearly in the photo.
 Always use threadlock on metal-to-metal fasteners.
 Repeat this section for the
remaining fixed gear installation.
