I partially compressed the strut and lockwired it in a partially =
compressed position.  Then placed the gas cylinder in position moving =
the gear as necessary to get a fit.  Once the ends were secured I cut =
the lockwire away.   I could find no easy way to accomplish this on the =
Legacy nose except using this method.
