OK, I used Snipping Tool in Window which cuts down on the original picture size. Here are the pictures.

Love the memory foam, or whatever that black stuff is. Great way to protect the airplane. Where did you find it?

I ordered it off amazon "Foam Rush 6inch x 18 x 20 High Density Upholstery Foam Cushion". The lift is a "Powerbuild 2-ton triple lift floor jack", I like that it has a safetly feature of placing a metal rod when lifted up, just in case the jack hydraulics fail.

Kim,
Thank you for supplying the pressure for the strut. Lifting the nose off the ground and charging it to 35 psi, gives it 3 finger widths when back on the ground. I had to use air. I bought a nitrogen bottle, but I think the regulator and hose I bought are the wrong type. I think I bought one use mostly for welding, what I need is one used to fill nitrogen shocks (with a Schrader value adaptor). I have to do more research to find one. In the meantime, here is a picture of the charged strut. Thanks to everyone who helped with information. Karl |

Nose strut access panel
Late to the party here, but I recently serviced my nose strut on my '77 NA G model and found that there is an access/inspection panel just behind the nose gear door on the aircraft belly. It's not a large hole, and you have to unbolt the lower door to get the panel off, but it is large enough to get a wrench and hose etc in there and makes replacing the valve stem, valve core, and strut servicing a little easier than going through the front side.
