Does anybody know the trick to removing an ASW-24 main wheel. *I have

John Murry and he said to remove the aluminum spacer on the left side

is keyed in the right side for the brake). *I have tried that and I

Thanks for everyone's reply. I found that not only do you need to
remove the calipers, but there in one bolt that hold the caliper plate
to the landing gear trunnion. Once that bolt (and the axle bolt and
the calipers) are removed the wheel is removed relatively easily.
