Shock Strut Servicing
NOTE: RELEASE PRESSURE IN STRUT BEFORE DISASSEMBLY!!
1. Disassemble the strut, removing both end caps. Take apart the gland section and metering pin so the parts can
be easily inspected for wear and replacement parts can installed as needed.
2. Inspect all parts carefully after cleaning for wear and scoring, especially the piston, gland section, and the
inside of the outer cylinder. Also make sure to check the bushings in the end-caps for wear and security.
3. The metering tube does not need to be taken apart from the end-cap of the inside cylinder unless extensive
cleaning is desired. If it is disassembled:
a. To return the metering tube height and condition to factory preset, first apply blue Loctite to the threads of
the inner end-cap threads that hold the metering pin for added security until next removal. The metering pin is
threaded until the measurement from the floor of the inside of the end-cap to the end of the inserted metering
tube is 12.037 inches if the new T-seals are being used and 11.937 inches if the old style O-rings are used.
b. Tighten the associated jam nut at that end and stake it for added security.
c. Set this metering tube assembly aside and move on to next steps.
