Little door? Luxury! It takes four men, three boys, two dogs and

you're LUCKY, you can reach the valve stem which of course
won't be QUITE in the right positon so you have to do it all
over again.

That's what you rightly deserve for having wheel pants. You want wheel
pants buy a girlie Cherokee.

Me, when *I* need to work on the wheels, I just set a block of wood in
front of the axle, go to the wingtip, lift up until the wheel is clear of
the ground, and swing the whole plane forward until the axle is above the
block.

Needless to say, I don't have to go through this for just airing them
up....
