I am about to undertake an overhaul of my MLG due to play at the knee joint. I will be pulling the entire gear to inspect it and replace the needed parts. So some ques4tons.
1. What causes the excessive play in the knee joint. Is it mainly a worn knee joint bushing, or the washers, or both? 2. The kneew pin, the one that costs 250 bucks a pop--do they have to be replaced, or can you usually get away with new lockwashers and nuts? 3. How tight does the knee pin nut have to be? 4. How does one remove the knee joint pin without damaging the threads? 5. What are the bolts that hold the leg to the spar...the ones with allen heads? I can find no reference to them in the parts manual. 6. I have already added the collar to raise the tail, but any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks Steve Finkelman C-Fiwr Forney F1
