Thanks for your support over the years and happy flying! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:51:02 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: LG08 bushing replacement From: glenn rainey Last weekend we renewed the two bushes on the shock absorber top plate LG05 - something of a struggle but doable in situ. We still have a little play in the 4 bushes of LG08, of interest more on the starboard side, and these will need replacement soon also. Has anyone developed a procedure for this task, preferably working with the LG08 in place, without having to tear down the whole gear assembly? These bushings are understood to be secured with locktite, so we assume some heat and a suitably contrived 'special tooling' will accomplish the task. All pointers welcome.

I could not imagine doing it in situ! I found it difficult enough to get the bits back in place having assembled them on the bench. Must have been much more flexible with eyes that did not need glasses 18 years ago. By the way if you do take the shockers and the steel plates LG05/Lg08 out they are handed when you refit them. If you do it the way I did first time the gear will not come up! It does show it in the diagram but we could find no specific mention in the manual. The bushes just pressed out quite easily with a nut, bolt and small washer. No heat required. Regards Pete PS Carried on and rebuilt the outriggers, finished yesterday.

On each occasion I have done the job all in situ and I have managed to do it with a little tool press I made up comprising a bolt, nut, washers and a length of tube the same size as the bush. I don't use heat, just press the old bush out. Another mono in the same hangar as done the job once following my advice. It's a really horrible job working upside down at virtually full arms length but ultimately it is manageable.
