CC11-160 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Chock the main wheel on the opposite side of the landing gear that is to
be worked on. Chock the tail wheel. It is recommended to carry this work
in a sheltered hangar.
Disconnect the brake line from the fuselage.
Jack the aircraft by lifting the wing that is on the same side as the landing
gear that is to be removed. The jack is placed at the forward wing strut to
spar attachment point on the desired side.
Remove the lower shock strut attach bolt.
Remove both upper landing gear bolts.
Inspect the landing gear and fuselage attachment points for cracks,
damage, and oversized holes.
Replace or repair affected parts.
Inspect the brake backing plates for cracks or excessive wear.
Replace any hardware that is excessively corroded or worn.
Align the upper landing gear attachment holes with the corresponding
ones in the fuselage.
If there is a gap between a landing gear leg and the corresponding
fuselage ear, fill the gap with washers of the appropriate thickness.
Apply grease to slow corrosion and insert the upper landing gear bolts.
The rear bolt on the right landing gear is longer than the one on the left
because the ear of the passenger step must be placed over the bolt end.
Place washers and nuts on the end of the bolts.
Align the hole at the bottom of the shock strut with the holes in the landing
gear.
Apply grease to slow corrosion and insert the bolt with a washer under the
head. Place washer and nut on the end of the bolt.
