The plans have you install this pin from the bottom, which seems odd. 

Also, this requires securing the pin from falling and possibly removing 

the wheel pants to insert the pin.



However, has anyone installed the pin from the top of the leg? It looks 

like it might work and less worry about the pin falling out.



Thanks,

Jae

I installed mine from the top and that works fine for me.

Thanks for the replies. I finally got a chance to test it both ways 

again and the bottom up approach with wheel pants off seems the best for 

me, without permanently bending the pin.



I was also thinking I may try to pop rivet some safety wire permanently 

in place by the hinge. Then I can twist and untwist the safety wire as 

needed.

Just a suggestion but after about three or four twists and untwists the wire will most likely give out The way that pin slides in and out I never wired it in place My pant fairings are bonded to the pant itself and I can't see how the fairing pin could ever find is way out.
