Yes, I did something similar on N56ML and for the same reason, easy
access for removal. I used socket headed cap screws so they could be
accessed and removed with minimal size holes in the skin, and the need
for only a ratchet, an extension, and a small diameter Allen head socket.
See http://www.n56ml.com/900hour (a bit more than halfway down) for
photos and details. There are a lot of useful construction KR2 and KR2S
"how-tos" at http://www.n56ml.com , for those who haven't found them yet.
I'm not touching the taildragger vs tri-gear debate. I like them both,
but sometimes one is better than the other, like a tailwheel for the
unfortunate case of landing in a plowed field!
