Packed the wheel bearings with Mobil SHC 100 grease. Used the Handi-Packer as shown in the photo. It worked well. Attached the wheels and installed the brakes. Fabricated and ran the brake lines. The plans tell you to use thread sealant on the AN flare fitting threads. This is NOT correct. I did not insert the cotter pins, just in case the wheels have to come off. (I know I want to balance all 3 wheels. Have to get the "Motorcycle Wheel Balancing Stand" from Harbor Freight, $59, and get some self adhesive wheel weights.)
The nosegear will have to wait. Still waiting for the replacement from Van's as the original was warped.
Sure looks nice on the main gear!
