The-sky-captain Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 My J does not have the hub cap on the front landing gear although I noticed that some J's do. I originally thought it would be a simple process of just screwing it on, but now believe it comes in two pieces and the plane has to be on jacks to have it installed. I purchased it from LASAR and was wondering if anyone out there has put one on themselves or have had it done. Quote
N6843N Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 I put LASAR caps on my "C" about 5 years ago. I removed my nose wheel so I could install the starboard side cap, it also helped in my case as I needed to drill and tap the wheel for the attaching hardware. All you need to do is jack up the front gear to remove the wheel which can be done with a piece of pipe, slide into the hole you use for your tow bar, and a bottle jack. I also had clearance problems on mine with the lower shock mount, which I don't think a "J" has. Quote
