YDRAULIC BRAKE CIRCUIT
Removal of single gear strut is as follows:
A.
Remove cabin seats by pushing them forward and off the railings;
B.
Raise aircraft onto supports;
C.
Close the shut-off valve (ref.2 in fig. C-13) without pull the brake lever (1); Do not
activate brake lever (1) during the operation
D.
Disconnect hydraulic brake circuit by unscrewing upper latch of external line on fuse-
lage underside. Cap lines temporarily to prevent fluid spill;
E.
Loosen bolts (part 5 fig. C-12) holding aluminum bracket (part 4 fig. C-12) at leaf
springs lateral attachment;
F.
Release inboard leaf-spring pin (part 6 fig. C-12) by unscrewing locknut on cabin
girder;
G.
Remove spring-steel strut pulling horizontally.
Reinstall using reverse procedure. It is however necessary to eliminate any trapped air:
once the circuit is closed and fluid in reservoir is at normal level, bleed air through small
valve provided. For best results pump hydraulic fluid through small valve allowing
trapped air to escape through open reservoir.
If verify brake function decrease, provide check and substitution, eventually, main gear
pads.
For this procedure refer to
Periodic
Inspection Table
in Section B pertaining to main
landing gear.
