flyby201 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 Its annual time and we are installing new gear shock discs. Can anyone direct me to detailed instructions for doing the main gears. The nose gear was easy but my A&P and I scratched almost all the hair off our heads trying to figure out how to do the mains. Specifically, how to remove the bolt at the top of the spindle that holds the discs. There is zero clearance to get wrenches on the head of the bolt and the nut and when you can finally get a wrench on it there is no room to move the wrench. The Mooney service manual is very vague on this procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Piloto Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 I did the discs replacement about 15 years ago without any special tools. To get the wrench clearance I cut it in half with a Dremel disc. José
N201MKTurbo Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 If I recall, if you compress the disks enough with the tool, it moves up enough to get a wrench on it.
