I am not sure that the U807 is stong enough to support the weight of the aircraft and fuel.  I am not an engineer nor have I played one on TV.  Just food for thought..

[quote] A couple of years ago, while at Felts Field, another RV8 builder suggested I drill a hole in my U807 wheel pant mounting flange to access the gear leg recess. I could then insert a bolt into the hole and use a bottle jack to lift my wheel to change the tire.

A slick idea I mentally filed away until, of course, I forgot most everything he told me. 

If you've tried this idea, I would appreciate the details.

Thanks,

Yes I really should finish the wheel pants
