We found that a simple 12V automotive tire pump capable of up to 200 psi will handily fill your nose gear strut on the 235 and 320. Operate the gear dump valve, push the tail down, push up on the nose over-center link to partially retract the nose gear. This will give access to the Shrader valve. Put about 125-150 psi in the strut and pull the connection off VERY quickly; that quick little hiss drops the pressure a lot ! 'All there is to it! ' Course, put the dump valve back into the closed position or the pump will run a LOOOONG time!
