> Need some help with a nose wheel. How long should the spring be in the > nose wheel? Upon disassembly to repair a leak my A&P found two springs I think you've got al the answers, but... Definitely only one spring. All nose gears use the same part number, 34041. It's about 7" long unloaded. Not that expensive, $16.61.
