Ercoupers, the struggle continues. I am annualing my Forney F-1 and am in need of advice on disassembling the nose gear strut. The lower bushing needs to be replaced, and a repair kit is available through at least one source, and probably others. The strut has been removed from the plane, however we are stymied on how to get it apart to measure the bushings and order the correct replacement parts. The service manual has not been much of a help except for the more or less obvious procedure to remove the strut.
Does anyone have a step by step procedure they have used in previous strut work, hopefully referencing the drawing in the Skyport Ercoupe Parts Catalogue (supplemented, pg 21a, fig 16a) I can contact you by phone or e-mail if you wish. Thanks, Bruce Hunter N3000G
