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
