Anyone have a good method to jack the -9A to service the main wheels?  The contraption Vans sells is utterly useless.  [quote] [b]

I have had good luck with using the Harbor Freight ATV lift with a bolted  on "box" made of 2 x 6's.  You simply slip it under the fuse in the area of  the spar, and lift the whole beast with a few easy pumps.  I stole the idea  from the site of a builder in Texas.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  I have found a neat tool that allows jacking of the main gear easily.   It's call a Handy Jack and I purchased it from Avery Tools for $129 (part  #4665).  After taking the wheel fairings off, just simply slide the Handy  Jack in to place and jack the plane up using a floor jack.  Piece of  cake!

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  If you do not have a new Avery catalog, check their website.  They  have a good (too good) picture of the Handy Jack.  We built one two  weekends ago using 1" black iron pipe sold in plumbing at the Homer Depot  Aviation place.  Using t's, 22 1/2 deg and 90 fittings and a few different  lengths of pipe, we made one for about 22.00, not including a cheap can of gloss  black paint.  Even found rubber end caps in hardware to keep the bar end  from sliding on floor. We drilled through the iron pipe vertically and used  a 3/8" stainless eye bolt (eye on bottom of pipe) and bolted it on.   Then we clamped one open end of a stainless S hook through the eye bolt,  and left the other end (lower end) of the S hook  open to receive two loops  formed at the ends of a length of a 5/16 diam cable.  This allows you  to run the cable below the axle and put each loop in the bottom of the  S hook.  A 19.96 floor jack from Wally mart and set up is  complete.  Happy Jacking.  Link below is to the Avery Catalog  picture.

At the suggestion of someone on this list, I bought the ATV/Motorcycle 

jack from Harbor Freight at the sale price of $62.99. Tried it out on my 

"RV Trainer" (aka Grumman Yankee-150) and it works great! You can easily 

lift all three wheels at the same time.

I have one of those for my harley, although I can't see how that would lift all thee at the same time ? Where are you jacking it from?
