Short Description: Remove main gear cylinder.
|
It would be very hard to get at the cylinder hydraulic fittings from the top so I cut holes in the side of the keel to get at them for removal. This made the job so much easier and was able to get my hand in there to help guide the cylinder forward out of the back support and then back to get past the center support, up it came and out. Using a crow foot on the ratchet made the job so much easier as well. I did find the bolt to hold the end of the cylinder on the keel was to short and didn’t go into the nylock nut and a longer one will be used when the cylinder is replaced.
I made access holes.
