Landing Gear Rebuild

[mwestphal]

My landing gear has been leaking nitorgen. It is not the valve, so it has to be the o ring. With winter approaching, it seems like a good time to rebuild the struts.

I was wonder if the people that have already rebuilt their struts have some advise to give. More specificly, once you have remove the gas what did you do to dismantle the strut. Are there things that you wish you had done differently. (Trick of the trade)

What parts did you replace (o-rings) and where did you order them from (part #)

I plan to use 5606 aircraft grade hydraulic fluid (red) and nitorgen gas to charge it up as mentioned in one of the other threads.
