If you do not have a new Avery catalog, check their website. They have
a good (too good) picture of the Handy Jack. We built one two weekends
ago using 1" black iron pipe sold in plumbing at the Homer Depot
Aviation place. Using t's, 22 1/2 deg and 90 fittings and a few
different lengths of pipe, we made one for about 22.00, not including a
cheap can of gloss black paint. Even found rubber end caps in hardware
to keep the bar end from sliding on floor. We drilled through the iron
pipe vertically and used a 3/8" stainless eye bolt (eye on bottom of
pipe) and bolted it on. Then we clamped one open end of a stainless S
hook through the eye bolt, and left the other end (lower end) of the S
hook open to receive two loops formed at the ends of a length of a 5/16
diam cable. This allows you to run the cable below the axle and put
each loop in the bottom of the S hook. A 19.96 floor jack from Wally
mart and set up is complete. Happy Jacking. Link below is to the Avery
Catalog picture.

I have found a neat tool that allows jacking of the main gear easily.
It's call a Handy Jack and I purchased it from Avery Tools for $129
(part #4665). After taking the wheel fairings off, just simply slide
the Handy Jack in to place and jack the plane up using a floor jack.
Piece of cake!

Anyone have a good method to jack the -9A to service the main
wheels? The
contraption Vans sells is utterly useless.

At the suggestion of someone on this list, I bought the ATV/Motorcycle
jack from Harbor Freight at the sale price of $62.99. Tried it out on my
"RV Trainer" (aka Grumman Yankee-150) and it works great! You can easily
lift all three wheels at the same time.

thee at the same time ? Where are you jacking it from?
