Main wheel pants removal

[455 Bravo Uniform]

I am tired of trying to clock each wheel and contort to get the pressure gauge on the valve stem, let alone add some air. Until I do some long cross country, I’m ready to remove my main’s pants. 182P

I already know how to do the front. How do I tackle the mains? I want to do them tonight.

Looks like a bolt on the outboard side. Looks like they might split lengthwise with a dozen or so tiny screws along the top, but it’s really only the inboard screws that need to come off?

Don’t know how ... but , do u have a W&B that doesn’t have the wheel pants? I have 2 one with all of them on and off.

You should be able to get the parts and maintenance manual on line. Don't do anything to your plane until you go over the procedure in the manual. I keep a copy on a thumb drive in my plane just in case I'm somewhere and need something done.

Agreed guys, thanks. Decided not to be hasty (had a meal, and a 20 minute nap...). Ended up being more patient and airing them up. I shouldn’t complain, last time they were aired was July...
