1. Remove left and right instrument panel top panel. (See “Right Instrument Panel Top Panel
Removal” on page 8-17.)(See “Left Instrument Panel Top Panel Removal” on page 8-19.)
2. Remove the aircraft battery. (See “Battery Removal and Installation” on page 6-37.)
3. Jack the aircraft up or weight the tail so that the nose gear is clear of the ground (use a safety
block under the forward hull if weighting the tail).
4. Use two #2 cross-head drivers to remove the screw and binding post that attach the forward
NLG door (these are secured with LOCTITE
®
222™).
5. Remove the forward door along with the long spacer, two torsion springs, and two spring mount
bushings. The flanged bearings should remain pressed into the wraparound bracket on the NLG
leg.
6. Remove the retaining ring and wrist pin from the NLG drag link where it meets the NLG leg
bracket, supporting the NLG leg so that it does not over-extend.
7. Use 5/8 and 22/32 wrenches to remove the two AN7C14A bolts and MS21044C7 nuts that
attach the NLG trunnion to the NLG box. For the aircraft right side, the nut is accessed by
reaching through the battery box (see below).
