My gear legs have these zerk fittings at the bushings. I don't know if they are original but don't seem to be a bad idea

Here's the new shackle and pin for the right gear

Here's the brake hub getting reinstalled. I also drilled the gear leg drain hole since it didn't have one

Pretty eh?

My next challenge: I need to get that strut mount bolt out and, as you can see, it won't come out without removing the lower
boot cowl. In fact, somebody in the past damaged the skin by trying to force it out.
My plan is to make a cutout so the bolt can be replaced and then fabricate a flush plug patch on a doubler.
I'll probably do it on both sides

The shish-kabob stand I built turned out to be adequate for my needs

With the gear removed this rotational point is nearly perfectly balanced
