CLEANING, INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF NOSE LANDING GEAR. 
1.  
Clean all parts with a suitable dry type cleaning solvent.
2.  
Inspect the gear components for the following unfavorable conditions:
A.  Bolts, bearings and bushings for excess wear, corrosion and damage. 
B.  Gear housing, drag links, torque links, and tension spring arm for cracks, bends or misalignment. 
C.  Downlock hook for excess wear of the hook and bearing surfaces. 
D.  Downlock roller bearing for freedom of movement and excessive wobble.
3.  
Inspect the gear tension and downlock hook springs for the following:
A.  Excess wear or corrosion, especially around the hook portion of the springs. A spring should be rejected if wear or corrosion exceeds one-quarter the diameter of the spring. Clean away all corrosion and repaint. 
B.  Check the gear tension springs for load tensions below minimum allowable tolerances. The minimum allowable tension of the inner spring is 46 pounds pull at 13.75 inches and the outer is 75 pounds pull at 13.75 inches. Measurement is taken from the inner side of each hook. If it is found that either spring should be rejected, replace both springs. 
C.  Check the gear downlock hook spring for load tension below minimum allowable tolerance. The minimum tension of the spring is 10.5 pounds pull at 4.5 inches. Measurement is also taken from the inner side of each hook.
4.  
Check the general condition of each limit switch and its actuator, and wiring for fraying, poor connections or conditions that may lead to failures.
5.  
Check drag link through center travel by attaching the upper and lower drag links, setting them on a surface table, and ascertaining that when the stop surfaces of the two links touch, linkage is not less than .062 to .125 nor more than .125 to .250 of an inch through center. Should the distance exceed the required through center travel and bolt and bushing are tight, replace one or both drag links.
