| Subject: | Re: TR$ Jack Options |
FWIW: I bought a small "low profile" hydraulic 2 ton floor jack. I chock
the other wheels so the airplane doesn't shift. I carefully slide the jack
under the landing gear metal part far enough so I can lift it up. Once high
enough, I slide a slightly modified portable saw horse with a thick movers
blanket under the wing then slowly lower the airplane on the sawhorse. Now
I can take the floor jack out and work on the tire without fear of it
falling off the floor jack. When done, I reverse the process. It works very
well and one person can do it easily.
I have attached photos of the floor jack and the saw horse so you have an
idea of what I am talking about. I am actually undergoing the annual
condition inspection and will be re-packing the airplane main tire bearings
today. I will take pictures of the process and post them here.

| Subject: | TR$ Jack Options |
Thanks you very much Galin,
I was concerned about damaging the brake and wheel if I tried to jack it on
the bottom of the landing gear and would not have thought of resting it on
the wing. Thanks for your help
Mike

I=99m crawling underneath the fuselage and cannot see a convenient ja

My neighbor who has an RV has a clever =9Cgoodie=9D that fits i

Use a "low profile" floor jack and you won't have any problems.
FWIW I took photos as I jacked the airplane up in order to repack the main
wheel bearings today. I used the photos to do a write up of my procedure
and have attached it to this e-mail as a ,pdf file. If you have problems
downloading it, I also put a copy on the maintenance section of our web
page (www.puertoricoflyer.com). I hope it helps others with this.
