I watched last year as the annual was part of pre-buy inspection. This year I plan to be more engaged. Does anyone have instructions for checking the landing gear pre-load? I'd like to study that procedure before hand so I understand how it is done and what it accomplishes. Fred, as mentioned the MM has the necessary verbiage, however checking the gear pre-load is very much a hands on activity. Feeling exactly when the first movement of the link happens while moving the torque wrench takes a little practice. The nose gear preload is measured differently depending on model and year. 1
