46-06, Step 1, 2, & 5
Slide the WD·l031 Axle Flange onto the WD-l017 Nose Gear Leg spindle and secure it to the spindle. Next, slide on the Nose Fork Assembly, the two K2750-0-219 Belleville Washers, and the 5710-243-060 Washer. Finally, thread on the MS21025-24 Nut.
Thread safety wire through the holes used to secure the Nose Wheel and Tire Assembly to the Nose Fork Assembly, then attach a spring scale to the end of the safety wire. Tighten the MS21025-24 Nut until a force of 26 Ibs begins to rotate the Nose Fork Assembly around the spindle. Secure the nut with the cotter pin.
Problems: I couldn't find the MS21025-24 Nut and I didn't have a spring scale. So until I get can both of these, the nose gear is on hold.
I also spent some time balancing the tires. Both mains were just fine. I'm still balancing the nose tire. It was heavy on the side of the valve. With 1/2 ounce added, it was still valve side heavy. With 3/4 ounce added, it watomerss weight side heavy. I'll have to experiment on where to locate the weights for better balance.
Slide the four J-11968-14 Nose Gear Elastomers onto the shaft of the WD-l016 Nose Gear Link Assembly, then slide the shaft into the WD-l001-Dl Engine Mount. Slide the VA-143 Bushing into the nose gear link, then bolt the nose gear link assembly to the WD-l017 Nose Gear Leg using the hardware called-out. Secure the nut with the cotter pin. I couldn't compress the Elastomers by msyself, so I'll need some assistance to complete this task.
