F.
Remove gear strut by pulling it outward from the fuselage.
Reinstall using a reverse procedure. It is however necessary to eliminate any
trapped air from the brake circuits: once the brake circuit is closed and fluid in
reservoir is at normal level, bleed air through dedicated valve. For best results,
use external pump to push fluid through valves allowing trapped air to escape
through open reservoir.
If braking action appears degraded, check and eventually replace main gear brake
pads.
Refer to Periodic Inspection Chart in Section B for any service operation to main
gear.
