K. Regarding the brakes.

E-mail Agnes Spindelberger ag.spi at cobratrailer dot com with all the

information stamped below the hand brake of your trailer to get the proper

damper.

Instructions (below) and diagram can be found on wings and wheels.

Sent from gliderpilot.net. Tried from google, but they're bloody useless.

Per Tim Mara…



For anyone interested (keep this in mind for the future) I finally removed

the tongue strut after pulling every bolt out of the tongue. Here is the

proper removal procedures if you can't get yours out:



Remove hitch from front of tube. Remove the spacer bar from inside of the

tube.

Remove the two bolts retaining the strut in place.

Pull the strut forward as far as you can and remove the head of the strut

that the bolt goes through.

The head of mine unscrewed from the shaft.

Remove the one big bolt that retains the parking brake handle and lower the

mechanism that has the actuator attached to the rod which actuates the

brakes.

Remove the fuselage from the trailer and remove the dust cap on the end of

the tube inside of the trailer.

Take a long, slender stick and shove it from the outside towards the inside

of the trailer. This will push the tongue strut to where you can grab it

inside of the trailer.

Reverse procedures to install.


JS,
Thanks, I have this diagram. And thanks to everyone for the PMs. The working WX has been good and I am making headway.
