Hi Roger,
While the plane is on the ground, you can remove the top cap
since it will not be at the stop. You can also remove the bolts
under that wing, holding the gear in place, assuming that you have
already disconnected the brake line. Now when you slowly raise
the wing with a jack, the gear will come out of the gear box.
The reverse process is more difficult, since the bungees preload
the gear, and the bungees must be stretched if the gear tube
is to stick out a bit above the wing. There are two ways to
do this. First, you can use longer bolts with the top retaining
cap and gradually
pull up the tube from the top. When you cannot turn the
bolts any more, you lower the wing so that the weight
of the plane holds the gear up, remove one bolt at a time
and add washers, and repeat the process until you have pulled
up the tube to add the retaining plate with the originial bolts.
Another solution that makes subsequent bungee
changes really easy, is described on the page

Happy flying,
Klaus

Klaus;
Thanks for the info, I am getting the "gear change kit" from McFarland, he
has pics of it on his site and he has agreed to build me a kit.
Thanks again
Roger
