Fellow LNC2 Listers: I have managed to set all my hydraulic cylinder up stops and have enjoyed watching the gear retract and pull all the doors up snug and tight. Now I'm faced with replacing the heavy springs on the inboard and nose gear door cylinders. Can anyone suggest a method for compressing the springs to allow the end fittings to be screwed back in place? I'd like to be able to do this without removing the cylinders. Suggestions anyone? Discovered my hydraulic pump reservoir was cracked. Also discovered the local Parker distributor had a new reservoir in stock. The latest version attaches to the pump with four screws through the tabs on the pump casting, no longer has the bolt going up through the bottom. The biggest surprise was that the new one cost only $13, including state tax! I still can't believe that. Charles --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Utahweb]
