do not archive
After I got the engine on and running, and while I was standing around admiring my work, I noticed that bungee replacement might require removing all the stuff I had labored to install.
Others may have a better plan, but looks like the fuselage needs to be supported so the entire nosegear assembly can slide out. Doesn't appear that there is room for a pry bar to stretch the bungee.
This isn't any help, but maybe there'll be a neat, slick, fast and easy way to do this.
Anybody?

Zed, Guys & gals,
Nose Gear Bungee Replacement! Mine is a 601HD but pretty much the same as
the 701. I've already replaced - with the engine in place - mine. As someone
suspected, I blocked up under the engine mount ( with the cowl off! ) and
jacked that up high enough to clear the ground. Cut the old damaged / frayed
bungee with a razor - one rubber band at a time so to speak. Now drop out
the gear far enough to install the new bungee. Slide the gear up to the
point where it is time to stretch the bungee. While my helper went to the
big hangar to find "something" to stretch the bungee, I was contemplating
making a "special" tool as some had done. Then it hit me, try a screw driver
( maybe 10 inches long - one that you get in that tight place) under the
bungee and into the tube on the front of the gear leg and it slid right
on!!. Remember this is with the airplane jacked up.When my helper came back,
he said I couldn't find anything to do the job. I told him, don't worry
about it. it's done.
Simple as that. Let the airplane down slowly, guide the top of the gear
through the hole and install the retainer plate on top. No sweat. Well,
that's how I did it.

I remember seeing a tool someone made to install the bungee while everything is on the plane. It was on a members web site or the CH701.com cool tool list. Look like it would work to me.
