Use a rod or long punch inserted through one bucket (Part # PA32-206L-6) to tap the opposite bucket out of the axle. Remove both buckets and pull nose wheel from fork.

Install nose wheel in fork and install the two buckets (Part # PA32-206L-6) using Airglas drawing PA32-206LA as a reference. 2. Install axle rod (Part # PA32-206L-4) using Airglas drawing PA32-206LA as a reference. 3. Tighten axle rod (Part # PA32-206L-4) until a slight bearing drag is obvious when the wheel is turned.

Remove lower nose strut using procedures outlined in the appropriate Cessna Maintenance Manual for that model of aircraft. 2. Remove torque link fitting bolt and fork bolt as required. (Note: Heavy Duty and Late Model combine the fork and link fitting. See special instruction #1.) 3. Drive fork and link from lower strut tube using hydraulic press. Do not push on base plug, press on tube periphery only. 4. Heat the Landes Block with electric heat gun or boiling water to a maximum of 200 Fahrenheit. 5. Mark strut tube holes with magic marker lines extending upward approximately 2”. This will aid in aligning block bolt holes with the holes in strut tube. (Some models have a 3/8” hole. See special instruction #2.) 6. After block temperature has stabilized, quickly slide block onto tube. (Hydraulic press will often be needed to accomplish this operation.) Use magic marker guides to help align the bolt holes. Drive a 5/16” bullet through hole to ensure final alignment while still hot. 7. Assemble strut with new seals using appropriate Cessna Maintenance Manual for aircraft model. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: #1. On Standard nose struts the lower hole must be removed by cutting approximately 1” off of the lower portion of the tube. Alternately the tube may be replaced with a heavy duty model. #2. Some models use a 3/8” hole in the block and tube combined with a bushing. The bushing must be cut and ground to ride flush with the outside diameter of the strut tube. This installation requires the disassembly of the block and tube to replace o-ring seal on base plug. #3 If a nose tire smaller than the main tires is installed: confirm adequate propeller clearance in accordance with 14 CFR 23.925(a). Record propeller clearance and tire sizes in aircraft permanent records.
