7.6.1 Main Gear Pulley Installation

This entry is part 19 of 39 in the series 07 - Landing Gear

The main landing gear is retracted by the hydraulic cylinder pulling cables that attach to the top of the landing gear. This cable has to pass through a pair of pulleys at the center of the main gear bulkhead.

The mounting hardware is temporarily held in place and string is used to insure the path of the cables does not rub or bind between where the cylinder is and the top of the gear leg. Once the location has been determined, holes are drilled through the bulkhead.

In this picture, the pulley has been removed.

The carpet really helps when you are kneeling.
