1. Clean nose gear leg with soap and water and allow to dry.
2. Wipe out inside of nose gear fork pivot bearing bonding area with isopropyl alcohol and a clean
cloth or paper towel until all contaminants are removed.
3. Lightly scuff nose gear fork pivot bearing bonding area using 80 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper,
until no shiny areas are present. Remove as little material as possible while sanding so as to avoid
needlessly increasing the bore diameter or getting it out of round.
4. Clean bonding area of nose gear leg using isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth. Always wipe the
same direction with a new cloth each time. Clean until bonding area wipes clean, with nothing
showing on cloth. This usually takes 3-4 rounds of wiping.
5. Remove contaminants from the outside of the bearing by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol until
cloth wipes clean.
VERIFICATION METHOD:
Bearing is clean and free of contaminants.
