It is easy to lift one at a time with two people. Seems to work for me.

If you just want to change a tire, a padded plywood plate under the wing spare or even a block of wood under the end of a main gear leg works. If you want to work on the gear itself, the original slings used in the build would be best.

The blocks fit around the gear-leg, one on top the other on the bottom. They are held together wit h two-3/8 inch bolt and wing nut, one in front and one in back, makes it easy to put on and tighten with no tools. I padded the inside of the cut ou t-to protect the paint. The bottom piece is sanded flat, parallel to the ground. I use an inexpensive bottle jack under the bottom piece to jack the plane up. The blocks will work on either side since the shape is the same. -=0A =0A=0A________________________________=0A From: David Weaver =0ATo: "pulsar-list@matronics.com" =0ASent: Sunday, March 2, 2014 12:21 PM=0ASubject: Re: Pulsar-List: Jacking up a Pulsar XP=0A =0A=0A=0AI jack up my XP using an approx. 30 inc h length of 2X4 as a pry bar under a gear leg end.- Upon lifting the gear leg, I then slip another wood block under the 2X4 end that is supporting t he gear leg to hold the vertical position.- If I want to go higher, then I lift the 2X4 end I am holding enough to slip a thin block of wood in plac e-(build up the height of the fulcrum).- I can-then take it up higher as required....the-2X4-pry bar stays in place as one of the shims-su pporting the weight on the gear leg.- It is quick with no other person ne eded.=0ADave Weaver N912GR-=0A =0A=0A________________________________=0A From: dsingleton =0ATo: pulsar-list@matronics.com =0ASe nt: Sunday, March 2, 2014 9:50 AM=0ASubject: Pulsar-List: Jacking up a Puls @aol.com>=0A=0AAny thoughts, ideas or procedures?=0A=0A--------=0ADennis Si ngleton=0A=0A=0A=0A=0ARead this topic online here:=0A=0Ahttp://forums.matro ======== ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:56:07 PM PST US Subject: Pulsar-List: Re: Jacking up a Pulsar XP From: "dsingleton" Thanks everyone. Found the 2x4 with a block worked well and I could do it myself. But I do believe I am going to make a 2 piece Jacking block as described. -------- Dennis Singleton Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=419670#419670 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:28:54 PM PST US From: "Keith Palmer" Subject: RE: Pulsar-List: Jacking up a Pulsar XP Try a home car trolley jack they go quiet low & jack one leg at a time -----Original Message----- From: owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pulsar-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of dsingleton Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2014 7:51 PM Subject: Pulsar-List: Jacking up a Pulsar XP Any thoughts, ideas or procedures? -------- Dennis Singleton Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=419643#419643 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pulsar-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pulsar-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pulsar-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pulsar-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
