and
pushing

on the
pivot
point
at
the
bottom
of
the side
brace
links
to
bring
the
links
out
of
the locked
position.
Raise
the gear
until
the
fork
presses
lightly
into
the
rubber
pad.
Retain
the
gear
in
this position.
4. Loosen
the jam
nut
on the
piston
rod
of the
actuating

and
turn
the rod

bearing
in
or out
to allow

spring
swivel,
and
secure
with washer
and
nut.
Install
the gear
downlock
spring.
6.
When the
gear
is to
within
.125 of
an inch
of correct
adjustment,
the
rod
end
need
not be
disconnected
and
therefore
all
that
will be
required
is
to loosen
the
jam
nut,
place
a
wrench
on
the
flat at
the end
of
the piston

ALIGNMENT
OF MAIN
LANDING
GEAR.
(Refer
to Figure
7-9.)
a. Place
a straightedge
no
less than
twelve
feet
long across
the
front
of both
main
landing
gear
wheels.
Butt
the straightedge
against
the tire
at the
hub
level of
the landing
gear
wheels.
Jack
the
airplane
up just
high
enough
to obtain
a six
and one-half
inch
dimension
between
the
centerline
of the
strut
piston
and
the centerline
of the
center
pivot
bolt
of the
gear torque
links.
Devise
a support
to hold
the
straightedge
in
this position.
b.
Set a
square
against
the straightedge
and check
to
see if
its outstanding
leg bears
on
the
front
and rear
side of
the brake
disc.
(It may
be necessary
to remove
the brake
assembly
to have
clear access
to
the disc.)
If it
touches
both forward
and
rear
flange,
the landing
gear
is
correctly
aligned.
The
toe-in
for the
main
landing
gear
wheels
is 0 ±
1/2 degrees.
NOTE
A carpenter's
square,
because
of
its especially
long
legs,
is
recommended
for
checking
main
landing
gear
wheel
alignment.
c.
If the
square
contacts
the rear
side
of the
disc,
leaving
a gap
between
it
and the
front
flange.
the wheel
is toed-out.
If a gap
appears
at the
rear flange,
the wheel
is
toed-in.
d.
To rectify
the toe-in
and
toe-out
condition,
remove
the
bolt
connecting
the
upper
and
lower
torque
links
and
remove
or
add spacer
washers
to
move
the
wheel
in the
desired
direction.
Refer
to
the
Toe-in,
Toe-out
Correction
Chart
(Table
VII-III).
e. Should
a condition
exist
that all
spacer
washers
have been
removed
and
it is still
necessary
to
move
the wheel
further
in or
out, then
it
will be
necessary
to
turn
the torque
link
assembly
over.
This
will
put the
link
connecting
point
on
the opposite
side
allowing
the
use of
spacers
to
go in
the same
direction.
f.
Recheck
wheel
alignment.
If the
alignment
is correct,
safety
the
castellated
nut
with
cotter
pin.
