d. Install a new wiper (36) in retainer assembly (35) using Loctite #609 ( 11, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00). To retain the wiper, pin stake
four places equidistant around the perimeter of the retainer 0.03 inch from its edge.
e. Place the axle and piston assembly in a vertical position and assemble the components in the following order:
1. Install the retainer assembly (35) and ring (34).
2. Place the inner seal assembly (31) and outer seal assembly (33) on the lower bearing (32).
3. Install the radiused edge of the backup rings toward the radius in the “T“ seal on both inner and outer seal assemblies (Ref. Figure 3).
4. Install the lower bearing (32) on the piston with the inner seal assembly (31) up (Ref. Figure 1).
5. Add the spacer (30), snap ring (29), upper bearing (28), and retainer ring halves (27). Space the two halves of the retainer ring (27)
equally under the top groove of the piston. Slip the upper bearing (28) over the lower lip of the retainer rings; secure in place with the
snap ring (29).
f. Install the packing (61) on the plug (60). Install the tube (62) and plug (60) in the piston (42).
g. Install the assembled shock strut piston in the strut housing. Screw the lower retainer assembly (35) into the strut housing.
h. Coat the torque knee pins (46 and 58), bushings (43, 51 and 52) and bolt (55) with grease ( 12, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00) at the time
of installation. Prior to installation of new bushings (43 and 51), a grease pathway hole must be drilled the same diameter as in the
previous bushings. Debur after drilling.
i. Position the lower torque knee (56) in place. Tap the lower torque knee pin (58) in place and install the clevis pin (57) washer, and
cotter pin.
j. Position the upper torque knee (44) in place. Tap the upper torque knee in place and install the clevis pin (45). Install the safety wire
between the clevis pin and the safety wire hole in the forward side of the retainer assembly (35).
k. Install the bolt (55), bushing (52), washers (48, 49, 50 and 54), nut (47) and cotter pin (53) that connect the upper and lower torque
knees (Ref. Figure 1).
Caution: Do not create a tight joint.
l. If power brakes are installed, install the clamps on upper and lower torque knees that secure the wire harness for the wheel speed
transducers.
m. Install the bolt (41), washer (40), nut (39), and cotter pin (38) that attach the safety switch arm to the upper torque knee.
n. Install the packing (8) and valve body (9) in the cylinder. Fill the strut with approximately 1.47 quarts of hydraulic fluid ( 4, Chart 1,
Chapter 91-00-00) as follows:
1. With the strut compressed, connect one end of a hose to the valve body and submerge the other end in an open vessel of clean
hydraulic fluid ( 4, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
2. Slowly extend the strut to fill with fluid.
3. Cycle the strut slowly until no air bubbles are exhausted on the compression stroke.
4. With strut compressed, install the valve core (10). Inflate to 80 psig and install the cap (11).
o. Install the clamp (15) on the brace assembly (7).
p. Install the bracket (16) on brace assembly (7).
Note: Ensure the three washers are correctly placed during installation of the roller (19).
q. Install bolts, washers, bushings and rollers (19) to the brace assembly (7) and secure with washers and nuts.
r. Secure the valve body (9) with safety wire.
s. Lubricate at all lubrication fittings with grease ( 12, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00).
b. Visually inspect castings for cracks and pitting, and finished surfaces for scoring, pitting, nicks, cracks, distortion and wear. Replace all
defective and excessively worn parts.
c. Replace all hollow “lube-type“ attach bolts.
d. Replace all packings, valve core (10), wiper (36), and the seal (6) under the rod retaining nut (3) whenever the strut is disassembled
(Ref. Figure 1).
e. Refer to Chart 1 to determine the extent of wear and additional inspection procedures for specific parts. Only trained personnel are
qualified to perform the magnetic particle and fluorescent-penetrant inspection procedures indicated in this manual. The implementation
of these test procedures by unauthorized personnel will not be considered valid.
Warning: Do not remove paint or primer from the area to be fluorescent-penetrant inspected. If the finish absorbs the penetrant
so that bleedout prevents satisfactory inspection or if a new finish has not cured for at least 30 days, contact the Airline
Customer Support Department, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, Wichita, Kansas.
Note: Listed below are the manufacturing and wear tolerances used to determine the extent of wear in the main landing gear
components which will aid in determining the extent of wear. When pertinent, the permissible wear limits are given for
these components. I.D. and O.D. dimensions are given in inches.

MAIN LANDING GEAR SOCKET ASSEMBLY REPAIR PROCEDURE (FORGED SOCKETS, 50-
810320 STYLE ONLY)
If a crack is detected in the main landing gear lower torque knee lugs, repair by blending out as follows:
a. Using a fine-tooth 0.12 inch dia. round file, remove material to the limits shown. The required surface after filing is that which is
produced by a 250 grit sandpaper. Progressively sand from heavier grades until achieving a surface produced by the 250 grit paper
(Ref. Figure 7).
b. Using a fine-tooth half round file, remove the material between the reworked area and the top of the brake lug. Fair as smoothly as
possible; minimum fillet radius 0.12 inch. Maintain a 250 grit sandpaper surface finish (Ref. Figure 7).
c. Following rework, inspect per MIL-I-6866; fluorescent per Type I Method B or dye penetrant per Type II Method C, regular sensitivity. If
crack has not been fully removed, contact Hawker Beechcraft Airliner Technical Support.
d. Apply appropriate corrosion preventative treatment, primer and paint.
c. Thoroughly clean the area with a cloth dampened with methyl propyl ketone ( 17, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00) and wipe dry. Let the
solvent air dry after wiping.
Note: Sealer must cover all non-chromed portions of the piston.
d. Apply masking tape to socket and piston to achieve a 0.12 inch seal for 129-810023 sockets, or a 0.15 inch seal for 114-810021
sockets (Ref. Figure 8).
e. Mix sealer ( 10, Chart 1, Chapter 91-00-00), or equivalent, according to manufacturer's instructions and apply to socket/piston
interface.
f. Remove tape and let sealer cure.
Note: Listed below are the manufacturing and wear tolerances used to determine the extent of wear in the main landing gear
