Bob,

Yes, I personally assisted a friend with two TK-5 shock strut deflations.  =

When I purchased my Spry debongers I felt the spring and hydraulic dampenin=
g to be far superior in light of my friends nitrogen failures.

Likelyhood of failure and =E2=80=9Cvery, very unlikely=E2=80=9D  worry rati=

My respenctful 2 cents.
