Dont all RV's have a platenet on the axel nut to hold the wheel pant
bracket?
I dont see how a hollow axel nut to take the pipe will work if you have to
mount the wheel pant bracket to the axel nut.

Greg,

There is an excellent tool from Avery just for this purpose. I use it and
love it. You end up drilling a hole in the center of the wheel nut and
installing a bracket over it to replace the rivenut for the wheel pants

Mike,

Check out the last link in my message below. It has a picture of the little bracket that goes over the hole in the axle nut. This little bracket has the platenut on it for the wheel pant.

Greg,

There is an excellent tool from Avery just for this purpose. I use it and love it. You end up drilling a hole in the center of the wheel nut and installing a bracket over it to replace the rivenut for the wheel pants. It is an easy conversion, an inexpensive jack jig, and makes lifting a wheel and removing it quite safe and easy. Check it out here.

I see they have the already modified axle nuts as well.

Here are the brackets for wheel pant connection

You can purchase all this as a kit.

Hi folks,

I'm getting stuff ready to do my first annual condition inspection on my recently purchased, completed RV7. (I'm having a GREAT time flying!!) I want to change tires and was really nervous about the wing jack when I swapped tires 9 months ago. I was told to put a piece of pipe inside the landing gear strut before removing the nut and jack it up. Does anyone have their gear leg out in the open and could give me a measurement? Mine is all wrapped up in wheel pants and tough to get to right now. I think a 1" pipe is about right but need to know the inside diameter of the gear leg tube.

Thanks in advance.

Greg
