14. One end of each rod must be disconnected and the jam nuts loosened to make any adjustments. Do not
attempt to make the adjustment by means of one rod end bearing, but divide the adjustment between the
bearings at each end of each rod. Check that the rod ends have sufficient thread engagement by ascertaining
that a wire will not go through the check hole in the rod. Reinstall the rods and tighten the jam nuts.
15. To check the nose gear steering for its 30°± 2° maximum right and left travel, mark on each side of the
nose wheel an angle line from the centerline and wheel pivot point. Turn the wheel to its maximum travel in
both directions to check for allowable travel. Should travel be exceeded in one direction and not enough in the
other direction, check for possible damage to the gear fork or torque links.

1. The nose gear door assembly on the PA-28RT-201 may be removed as follows:
A. With nose gear extended, disconnect the door retraction rods from the doors by removing nut, bolt
and washers.
B. To remove the door(s) from the cowl, bend one end of the hinge pin straight and from the other
end pull out the pin. The bottom cowl may be removed to facilitate easier removal.
C. Remove the bellcrank assembly of the door retraction mechanism by removing the attached
hardware, disconnecting the door down tension spring and removing the cotter pins at each end of
the pivot tube. Slide the insulating sleeve and bushing tube from the bellcrank.
