| CLEARING HYDRAULIC BRAKE HOSE |
Some of the earlier Model D18S Beechcrafts, Serials A-1 to A-68 inclusive, had
the brake hoses routed along the torque knees at the front of the struts. In
some instances, the hoses rubbed against the front of the landing gear wheel
well. If this condition exists on your airplane and it is chafing the brake
lines, it may be remedied by moving the brake hose clamps located on the "Y"
brace of the landing gear strut down approximately 1-1/4 inches. Turn the clamp
to allow clearance between the brake hoses and bolt in the landing gear door
linkage bracket. After this change has been accomplished, the airplane should be
raised enough so the struts will be in the fully extended position. Check the
brake hoses to be sure they are not too tight or binding. |
