Nose wheel strut rebuild

[bobbynick@msn.com]

I purchased a Oleo strut rebuilt kit and when i opened it, the contents included three O-ring and a rubber packing. I know where all the O-ring are located but i am not sure what the packing is intended for. Any help?

Thanks

I think you mean the piece of wiper material...yes? 10V70 wiper strip ?


If yes, it is trimmed for a tight fit and pressed into the strut last to wipe the big chunks off and helps keep the o-rings cleaner.

thanks for the information

one more question, how tight should the spanner type nut on top of the oleo strut be.

Thank you

Tight enough to turn but no play is how I have always done it.

Thank you, that is what I did and safety wired it.
