Nose Gear Assembly
The nose gear is supplied partially assembled for protection during shipment.
❏
Remove the Schrader No. 7607AH valve and AN901-5C crush washer. See Drawing No.
601.
❏
Remove P/N 616 upper ring nut.
❏
Remove nose gear strut from P/N 654A trunnion.
❏
Check to make sure that P/N 658 bushing is fully inserted in P/N 654A trunnion.
❏
Check to make sure that P/N 657 bushing is fully inserted in P/N 654A trunnion.
❏
Put nose gear strut back in P/N 654A trunnion.
❏
Check to see if the nose gear strut will turn in the bushings. If necessary, use emery cloth
or 400 grit wet-or-dry emery paper on the inside of the bushing. We prefer to wet sand
with a little oil on the paper. Wipe all grit from the inside of the bushing and re-install
the nose gear strut. The nose gear strut should be able to turn with just a minimum
amount of effort. The nose gear strut does not need to be loose, although this will do no
harm. The steering pressure will come from your feet, which are much stronger than your
hands. When you have the bushings properly sized, remove the nose gear strut from the
trunnion.
❏
Drill completely through P/N 658 and P/N 657 bushings with a #3 (.213ӯ) drill. This is
for the two grease fittings shown.
❏
Tap the two holes with a 1/4-28 tap for the two grease fittings.
