 Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:44 pm Post subject: Main Gear Support Rubbers' Replacemen - 601XL |
 |
|
After over 1000 landings (over 150 very-rough field landings) it is time to
replace my main gear support rubbers. (I wondered what that rattling noise
was when taxiing over the grass/dirt-mud/ gravel - turned out to caused by a
missing "rubber" between the gear and fuselage gear support fitting on the
left hand side).
I have some ideas on how to jack up for replacement, but if anyone else has
done it on a full-up 601XL, I would appreciate info on how you did it.
Thanks,

Tony,
When it came time to install my main gear, I found that I had supported the fuselage too low. I had to raise the fuselage to get clearance to install the gear. I had the rear of the fuselage supported on a jack stand, I set up the rig shown in the photos and lifted it VERY slowly ( I was working alone, so the pucker factor was really high ). I would lift it enough to get another 2 x 4 under it and lift again. I kept this up until I had the needed clearance and the nose gear firmly supported on blocks. When the main gear was installed, I just reversed the procedure. Hope this helps.
