48-4, Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

Fabricate a 1" wide shim approximately 1/4 ~ thick and position it temporarily between the brake disc and the U-1010-l Main Wheel Fairing Bracket to keep it from deflecting excessively when drilling through from the outside of the fairing. Use scrap pieces of aluminum with strips of duct lape added to achieve a snug fit.

Mark nutplate locations on the U-1010-L Main Wheel Fairing Bracket using a "sharpie~ pen as per the dimensions. Place the marks on the side facing the fairing.


Place the assembled U-10S7A Wheel Fairing Front and the U-10S7B Wheel Fairing Rearinlo the 'V' block with the wheel opening facing upward. Rotate the assembled fairing unUI the centerline drawn althe back of the wheel fairing rear is vertical. Measure up from the table as per the callouts to the midpoint of the vertical centerline at the aft end of the wheel fairing rear. This levels the assembled fairing. Measure up from the table the same amount at the forward end of the wheel fairing front and place a horizontal reference mark. Disassemble the fairings.

Fabricate a spacer. The dimension of the spacer is based on a 15X6.0-6 tire. If necessary adjust the height of the spacer to compensate for a different tire size, tire wear and/or inflation pressure by referring to the vertical dimension 8 7/8".

Raise the airplane on jacks so the tires are just off the ground (zero to 1/16" gap). Level the airplane longitudinally and laterally at the F-1015C Mid Cabin Deck. NOTE: DO NOT FORGET TO LEVEL THE AIRCRAFT. It may be necessary to remove and reinstall the wheels several times while adjusting the fit of the U-1010-L Main Wheel Fairing Bracket to the U-1057A/B Wheel Fairing. WARNING: Use caution while the airplane is on jacks. Don't let it tip or it will fall off the jacks.

Safety wired the Trutrak pitch servo to the servo mouniting bracket.
