Dear Editor,
Removing the Black Hawk's tail landing g±r wheel and tI² can b³
a ²al pain. When we loosen the´µ-¶·¸¹º

axle assembly, the fork assem¼ly
sp²ads enough to ¼ind against
the axle. Then the axle has to ¼e

We solved the p¾blem by w¿pÀ
pIng a caÁo st¿p a¾und the fork
assembly and secuÂng it as tight
as we can. Ãt keeps the foÄ f¾m
spÅing when we Æmove the axÀ

We'² also a¼le to instaL the wheel much ±sier than we used to.
