electrol nose gear

That second C ring is a bitch to get at .so I feelyour pain!.. I just rebuilt my second Electrol

Pins do not have to be removed. Found a sentence on one of the later Fourney maintenance manuals that described removing a second snap ring. Finally found it behind the aluminum rod guide, which at first seemed part of the inner cylinder. Once the rod guide was removed using a dental pick, the second snap ring was accessible. All is well. I got the manual from Essco.

I need the exact procedure for disassembling an Electrol nose gear strut. How do you remove the pins that seem to hold everything together. It is not described in the Univair manuals.
