1.
Bearings and bushings for excess wear, corrosion, scratches and overall damage.
2.
Retaining pins for wear and damage.
3.
Lock rings for cracks, burrs, etc.
4.
Cylinder and orifice tube for corrosion, scratches, nicks and excess wear.
5.

6A-21. ASSEMBLY OF MAIN GEAR OLEO. (Refer to Figure 6A-7.)
a.
Determine that all parts are cleaned and inspected.
b.
To install the piston tube plug (26), first lubricate the plug O-ring (27) with hydraulic fluid (MIL-
PRF-5606) and install it on the plug. Lubricate the inside wall of the tube. Insert the plug into the
top of the tube (25) and push it to the fork end. Align the bolt holes of the fork, tube and plug, and
install bolt assembly.
c.
If desired, cement a cork in the hole in the bottom of the fork body to prevent dirt from entering
between the fork and tube.
d.
To assemble components of orifice tube (12), insert orifice plate (13) into the bottom of the tube
and secure with snap ring (14).
e.
To install tube (12) in oleo housing (11), insert the tube up through the housing. With the end of the
tube exposed through the top of the housing, install the O-ring (9), retainer (8), washer (7), and
locknut (6). Tighten locknut only finger tight at this time.
f.
Assemble components of piston tube (25) on the tube by placing, in order, snap ring (24), washer
(23), lower bearing (20) with outer and inner O-ring (19 and 21) and upper bearing (18). Align the
two .125 diameter holes and the lock pin holes with the corresponding holes in the piston tube and
install pins (17).
g.
Lubricate the wall of the cylinder oleo housing (11) and tube (25), and carefully insert the tube
assembly into the housing, guiding the orifice tube (12) into the piston tube. Install the wiper strip
(22), slide the washer (23) into position and secure the assembly with snap ring (24).
h.
Tighten locknut (6) at top of housing.
i.
Ascertain that the bushings are installed in the upper and lower torque links (15 and 16) and then
install links. The torque link bolt assemblies (2, 3 and 4) should be lubricated and installed with the
flat of the bolt head hex adjacent to the milled stop of the wide end of the link. (Use the same
thickness of spacer washers between the two links as those removed to maintain correct wheel
alignment.) Tighten the bolts only tight enough to allow no side play in the links, yet be free enough
to rotate.
NOTE: Instructions contained in Paragraph “j” pertain to left oleo strut assemblies only.
