About to replace my discs. Currently have (3) Lord J11968-14 on the nose and (4) Lord J11968-5 on each main. I can’t find any information about the J11968-5 donuts, doesn’t appear they are made anymore. I also need to buy or rent the gear tension rigging tools. Does anyone know where I might locate these tools? Anyone ever seen or heard of the Lord J11968-5 donuts before? original parts manual shows 3CRE714 discs, SBM20-139 installs Lord 530021. I believe J11968-14 is equivalent to 530021, but am not positive.

It looks worse than it actually is. When doing the nose wheel, tightly chock both mains and as soon as you slide the nose wheel off, put a block topped with soft wood under the shaft so in the unlikely event something goes wrong the nose drops a total of about an inch and the wheel shaft is stopped by the wood. The rubber discs in the nose gear would do their job absorbing the blow. That system takes worse impacts with during a marginal landing, and the wood makes sure the shaft is not scuffed.

No problems doing tire changes one wheel at a time, using materials readily available. A 1.25 inch socket, 1/2 inch drive worked to top the bottle jack and act as a receptacle for the lift point. Only had to lift about 4 inches for the wheel to clear the floor.
