As Herr Otto was far better at self promotion than the other two, so it became the "Otto Cycle" rather than the Langen or Daimler cycle ! Makes no difference, it's still .....Suck-Squeeze-Bang-Blow to many, and is still the most excellent process known to man of converting vast quantities of rare fossil fuels into noise and fun ! How much further will the 'pull through procedure' thread be stretched ?

One of which I wrote. I've tried some of the other procedures, but have had mixed results. If you want details, please contact me off-line at: markbitterlich@embarqmail.com or at work at: mark.bitterlich@navy.mil and I will talk to you in person about the pro's and con's. To sum it up in one sentence, it is in my opinion best to pull the whole landing gear leg with cylinder attached, then it is to try to remove and replace the cylinder leaving the gear leg bolted in. Second, be aware there is a SET SCREW in the spin on collars of this actuator. It could be hidden by paint of grease, but it is there! Without loosening this screw, you will ruin the actuator trying to take it apart.
