I'm finally getting around to permanently mounting the pants on. My question is on the nose gear. The bushing will not fit into the axle. Looks like I need to grind about 1/16 inch off of the whole thing. Instructions do not say anything about grinding or filing off. Any thoughts???

thanks in adavance

I recall chucking those up in a drill press and hitting them with a file till they fit.

Spent an hour with the dremel filing them down til they fit. Will need longer 10/32 screws with the spacer but I think they will work fine. Thanks for the reply Dorsal.
