Axle Screw???
Hello all,
I have a question that is driving me nuts. As a beginner maybe I am missing something that is obvious but I just don't see(get) it. I'm installing the landing gear on a Kadet Mark II and I am using the kit you purchase separately that has the wheels, collars, spinner, etc.
It says to use a regular threaded bolt with a few washers and nuts(included in the kit) to attach the wheel to the landing gear. When you put the bolt threw the hole in the wheel it is hard where you actually have to screw it in to get it to go through.Then you use the washers and nuts to attach it to the landing gear. I hope you are following me...lol...surely this issue has been addressed before. So...How the heck is the wheel going to turn?? It won't spin on the screw because there are threads on it...and I'm sure the screw isn't supposed to turn on the landing gear. Do I grind off the threads on the screw where it goes into the wheel so it will turn? This seems like a bad idea to me...the whole concept is screwed from what I can see. I have axle shafts that I can use but I will need to drill out the hole in the landing gear to attach it and then cut off the excess shaft after I have put the wheel and collar on. Why the heck does it say to use a bolt that is fully threaded and attach it with nuts and washers? Anyone ever come across this?
