Help taking apart nose gear strut

[LostKiwi]

I just recently pulled mine apart to swap out all the old seals.
She now holds pressure, and works as advertised!


This thread was most definitely helpful! For those interested, I have attached a pic of the little bitty hole you're looking for. The manual just says "A small access hole is provided at the lock ring groove to facilitate removal of lock ring." On mine, it was so covered up with old grease / schmoo that I couldn't find it!

Hello ALL.
FYI. The nose strut kit is available from McFarlane Aviation for about $30. I converted all the "AN" O-rings to the listed "MS" O-rings in the kit for your convenience. Hope this helps. BILLS
