Tools for owning a Skymaster

Add the ATS Brake Bleeder Tank - this is so quick to bleed your brakes; and make some different connections, you can make it do other things like top up your hydraulic system quickly. I recently used mine to bleed the hydraulic pump suction and pressure lines (337A) after the lines to and from the pump were replaced with new. Trust me when I tell you (and Cessna tells you in the manual), you need to bleed the suction line if you have changed it or drained the fluid out of the line. The pump WILL NOT self prime itself, and if there is air in that line, your landing gear will not function normally...again, trust me....(I think you know what I mean...)

Drill motor to cycle the gear if you have the early model with engine driven pump. Jack points, 3/8 and 7/16 crows foot wrench for 1/4 ratchet to remove the hydraulic pump and alternators, very handy.
