Doug,
Contact Quint Daniel. His kit was DMO50. He bought it back in 1984. I'll
bet his wheel is the same as yours. He is a great guy, and should be able
to answer your question.
His e-mail address is QNDaniel@aol.com
He is not on the reflector yet.
Best,
Andy

Thanks everybody. This wheel assembly is 16 years old, and maybe it
doesn't look like yours do now. There's only one long set screw. The axle
is as long as the fork is wide. I can see a 5/8" axle flush with the
outside of both sides of the fork, but the axle is 3/4" where it goes
through the wheel bearings. Both ends of the axle have a tapped hole in the
center; that's where my wheel pant attaches. There's no screwdriver slot
with which to turn the axle. I wonder if the 3/4" diameter part is just a
bushing and the axle is 5/8" diameter and just pressed in.

Doug,
I am guessing that you are not the builder of your aircraft. The wheel
needs to be removed from the fork by extracting the axle. The wheel has
through bolts that when removed allow the wheel to be separated into two
halves which allows the tire to be removed. The rest is obvious.

My FG nose gear tire is flat. Can somebody tell me how to remove the
tire and the tube? It looks like the fork has everything trapped.
