(3) INSTALLATION
(a) Replace any hardware that is excessively corroded or worn.
(b) Align the upper landing gear attachment holes with the corresponding ones in the
fuselage.
(c) If there is a gap between a landing gear leg and the corresponding fuselage ear,
fill the gap with washers of the appropriate thickness.
(d) Apply grease to slow corrosion and insert the upper landing gear bolts.
(e) 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.
(f) Place washers and nuts on the end of the bolts.
(g) Align the hole at the bottom of the shock strut with the holes in the landing gear.
(h) 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.
(i) Torque all nuts to 130 in/lbs or if necessary, past this value so that the nuts may
be aligned with the nearest hole on the corresponding bolt.
(j) Safety the nuts with new cotter pins.
(k) Verify that all the hardware is installed properly and lower the aircraft to the
ground.
(l) Reconnect the brake lines and tighten the fittings.
(m) Service the brakes, if needed, to obtain the proper pedal travel. (See 32-42)
