REMOS NOSE WHEEL DIP TUBE (STRUT) REPLACEMENT

Post by bitten192 »

Just replaced the dip tube per SB003. Had to remove the battery & air box. The official procedure provided by REMOS is unworkable. I got an unofficial copy of the draft procedure from Arkansas which is much better than the official procedure. Email me if you want a copy.

Yeh, we were shaking our head the whole time as we changed the one up here in Arlington, Wa. The S.B. 003 would have been better if it just said reverse disassembly :lol:

Remos Nose Gear Dip Tube

Changed mine today.. 4 hours with two people. The old one appeared OK untill I was sliding the bearing race off the tube - about .020 out of round approximatly 12 inches from the bottom. Would suggest no procrastination making the change. VR.. Don Stits
