Ken,
I'm not an expert, but I'll tell you how I did it.
Yes, I used 5606G hydraulic fluid. With the plane up on jacks, I
removed the strut valve and attached a length of plastic tubing to extend down
into
the can of fluid.
I then pushed the strut to the very top and let it down about three
inches to suck the fluid into the strut. I worked it up and down a few times, and
then blocked the wheel to prevent and air from reentering the strut. Then,
the valve is replaced. Now you should have 2-3 inches of strut showing.
Let the plane down on the gear and use your N2 tank (or strut pump) to
pressurize the struts to the desired level (5-6 in). Check for leaks.
Any of you out there have a better way to do it? LRE
