Brake line main gear replacement

Jack the aircraft, partially retract the gear, lift the gear and place tire on top of a two step ladder is the easiest way. This makes the line accessible, disconnect the B fitting at the top of the gear and at the caliper flexible hose and then slide the clips off the gear leg with the line. If you are going to make a line pay particular attention to the bends at the top. When the gear is down the line can get pinched very easily if the bends are not correct.

With the gear in this position it is very easy to also change the flexible brake line in the wheel well, as well as removing the flex fitting and replacing the seal in it. Directions for disassembling the flex fitting is on other threads on the forum.
