Securing the Axle Mount
Now that you have the gear leg correctly aligned, you are
ready to secure the axle mount with the two bolts.
Steps...
1. Remove the gear leg with the axle mount attached.
2. Mark the bolt locations used to secure the axle mount
using a drill bit or a transfer punch.
3. Create a small pilot hole in the gear leg, starting at 1/8”
and enlarge to 1/4”.
4. Using the pilot holes, drill the holes to final size with a
1/4” (6.3 mm) diameter drill. Drill the holes from both
sides.
WARNING:
Do not drill the holes all the way
through from one side.
5. Slide a washer (AN960-416) over each of the bolts
(AN4-20A).
6. Slide the bolts through the axle mount and the gear leg.
7. Secure the bolts with another washer (AN960-416) and
a locknut (AN365-428A).

Procedure for drilling the gear legs and axle mounts
Using a drill press or a hand drill, with a letter C drill bit:

drill bits to get through the hardened steel gear legs. (Use a
cobalt steel drill.)
– Turn the leg over and drill from the other side.
– Now using a 1/4” drill bit or ream both holes in one go.
