A customer of mine had a mishap at the Hemet, CA airport.
>From the looks of it, the cotter pin had sheared and the castled nut came off.
He took pics of the incident and sent them to me. From what I could see, there
was some damage to the wheel fairing, the 5/16 inch axle bolt was bent, tire was
scraped, and little else.
The mechanic at Hemet put it back together.
He flew it from Hemet to Auburn.
One look and I knew something was wrong.
Here are the parts as removed. What's missing?
It's a bit hard to tell, but, if you look at the left dust seal, you can see
it's badly deformed. The entire assembly for both sides is damaged. The hub is
damaged.
Good news is, the nose gear fork wasn't damaged.

I know. Thing is, the pic my customer took at the time of the initial
disassembly shows the axle.

Well, obviously the axle is missing! Your photo doesn't show it very
well but the adapter/spacer (LH side) that has the flat "milled" off one
side to prevent rotation against the nose fork looks like there is a
large hole that is egged out or worn from the axle bolt, I assume. Are
you sure the axle was installed?
