Ian, thank you for valuable information.
What kind of jack you use ? To remove the wheel, the fuselage must be lifted by at least 20 cm. Most car jacks do not have this capability. Tomasz From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Williams An interesting question. there are a few solutions I think.THe first one is if the wings are on, it is possible to put a stand under the wing tip and lift the wheel clear. (Tho probable not the best idea ) The best would be to remove the fiberglass cover between the U/C legs which will clear access to the 2 U/C attach straps on each side. Then use a length of timber to pick up the 4 strap mounting rod ends protruding. Then put a jack under that, lifting the fuse. I would suggest when the wheel is off, check the bearings and the seals to prevent water ingress. The seals are compressed between 2 spacers and replacements can be made from leather. The early Dimona’s used metal hydraulic lines which I found quite tricky to both undo and do up again. Hope that is of some help Ian Williams New Zealand Sent from my iPad On 22 Sep 2024, at 09:23, Tomasz Dzikuć <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Dimona users, We need to replace the main tire. We are wondering how to lift the Dimona to be able to remove the wheel. Hydraulic car jacks are not suitable (too low lifting height). We also cannot find information about where it has reinforced points, hooks that can be used as support points. Maybe you have some experience in this area?
