Hi Keith
The landing gear strut (wire) is sandwiched between the trunnion block pieces. To disassemble first remove the set screw using an Allen wrench and remove the trunnion shaft



Remove the trunnion and after removing all the screws take the top and bottom parts apart



The landing gear has a 90° bend and is placed into the channel. Reinsert the trunnion shaft and start the set screw into the collar. Then place the top half of the trunnion block over the setscrew and press to sandwich the landing gear.



Reinstall all the screws and remove the trunnion shaft once again



Place the trunnion in the frame with the holes lined up to receive the trunnion shaft again. Make sure the flat spot is under the setscrew. Then tighten the setscrew onto the trunnion shaft.



The bend in the landing gear wire keeps the landing gear from rotating in the trunnion block. The setscrew keeps the trunnion block from rotating on the shaft.

let me know if you have any other questions.

Don
