Bruce. Service Memorandum 41 covers in very much detail (over ten pages) your request. Much better than any of us could explain it to you. You or your A&P should own the Memoranda and Service Bulletins. If that's not the case, order one from Univair or Skyport. This book is worth it's money if you want to do serious work on your Ercoupe. Hartmut

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 HunterN3000G _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.
