Default Wheel pant mounting procedure?

I'm having some problems figuring out how to mount the wheel pants on this thing.

I'm mounted wheel pants b4, but the instructrions look like they're telling me that I'm supposed to hold the wheel pant to the axle with the large locknut. Should this be the case? Or should the 4-40 bolt hold the wheel pant on by itself?

The instructions also say there will be two 4-40 holes in the landing gear leg. But there is only one. This makes me think that the large locknut should hold the pant on, as well as the 4-40. Like - the large locknut holds it on and the 4-40 keeps it from turning.

The Model Airplane News review states that there is a plywood laminating plate to fit inside the pant. No such beast in this kit.

Ideas?

Thanks
