Task Instructions
1. Clean nose gear leg with soap and water and allow to dry.
2. Wipe out inside of nose gear fork pivot bearing bonding area with isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth or paper towel until all contaminants are removed.
3. Lightly scuff nose gear fork pivot bearing bonding area using 80 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper, until no shiny areas are present. Remove as little material as possible while sanding so as to avoid needlessly increasing the bore diameter or getting it out of round.
4. Clean bonding area of nose gear leg using isopropyl alcohol and a clean cloth. Always wipe the same direction with a new cloth each time. Clean until bonding area wipes clean, with nothing showing on cloth. This usually takes 3-4 rounds of wiping.
5. Remove contaminants from the outside of the bearing by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol until cloth wipes clean.
Verification Method
Bearing is clean and free of contaminants.
