From my website:
Jacking the airplane up:
Mark gave me the solution a couple of years ago and it works. Simply place a radiator
clamp (or muffler clamp) around the gear leg as low as you can get it,
and turn it so the bolt portion is on the bottom. This gives a very good protrusion
(and at the right angle) to slip a small floor jack under, and it lifts
just as Tom's modification does. To make sure it didn't slip, I placed two clamps
one above the other, and it has worked well for two years. At the rate I was
going thru tires and brakes (another story) before the shims, this system was
exercised quite often. Jim Cash
