Thanks for the video, new comanche 260 owner here. I was trying to visualize how exactly the bungees worked and this was perfect!

I cut them off, slowly. Just a few strands at a time. To reinstall, I lower the gear manually on to an old tire so they don’t go down and locked. That way I can manipulate the gear by hand while under the wing. It makes it a one man job.

Lower the gear manually onto an old tire, how does that work?

@@stevenvlog8398 Jack the plane. Raise the gear. Position an old tire under one side of the main gear. Release the manual gear extension mechanism and gently lower the gear until it contacts the tire. Now you can move the gear up and down from under the wing. It makes getting to some of those grease fittings easy too.

@@frankgh1 thanks so much! I think I saw this from the Comanche tip as well ( put a wood block on nose wheel achieves similar)

Roughly How much time and money would this add to a cost of an annual if you did it yearly?

It only takes about an hour to do both and it can be done by the owner.

Hi Scott, Very nice video. Please tell me how you shot the view of the outboard roller bolt being screwed into the nut plate in the rib.

There is a so much safer and easier way to change a bungee on a PA24. I would never use this method.

This is the wrong way to remove and replace the bungee. Very BAD tutorial. Spend the money and buy the tool.
