Task Instructions
1. Jack the aircraft (Jack Aircraft.) or support the nose as follows:
a. Remove the main landing gear 15A fuse from the overhead console. Save this fuse.
c. Fold the wings of the aircraft. This will move the center of gravity aft so that it is easier to lift the nose up and down during the NLG rigging checks.
d. Connect battery charger to the charging terminals. The charger used must have a selectable Lithium charging mode.
e. Have a foam block or equivalent nearby that can be placed under the aircraft on the keel aft of the NLG wheel well that will allow the nose wheel of the aircraft to have approximately one inch or more clearance from the ground. This block will need to be removed numerous times during the procedure.
2. Use a 7/16 wrench to remove the two AN4C11A bolts on either side of the NLG fork.
3. Slide the wheel assembly out of the fork.
4. Remove the ICA011894 spacer and AV-ICON-002 axle.
5. Proceed to the Beringer Wheel and Brake Maintenance_Manual if doing further work on the wheel.
Verification Method
The procedure is complete when the nose landing gear wheel has been removed.
