I think I have removed three sets now. One plane had the wings open at the ends of the stubs so I was able to remove the spring bar by just unbolting everything and pulling it out the end in one piece. The other two had plywood or glass covering the ends of the stubs so I cut the bar in two or three pieces to remove them out the cockpit. I use the material in my machine shop to machine lots of good high-strength aluminum parts. Since I am cutting it into little blocks to make stuff anyway and since there are holes from the bolts it does not bother me that they are not full length bars.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: KR> retract removal From: "Clayton" <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Wed, November 28, 2012 10:04 am To: "'KRnet'" <[email protected]> I have been searching the net, maybe I missed something. What is the least invasive way to remove the spring on the retract gear set up? I am switching out to the Deihl conventional gear, but don't want to tear out the entire wing stub. Is it best to cut the bar out in pieces or remove the bottom of the few ribs on the stub?
