BVM 1/6 F-16 nose gear spring replacement
I need to replace the spring as the title says. Since the spring is captive in the top half of the unit, I assume the top needs to be removed? If so, is it threaded on? Figured I'd ask if someone has already done this before I start wrenching on some part that may not need wrenching on as this strut is a little more complicated than a standard Robart unit. Thanks.

Ok, couldn't wait. It's threaded. Hold top of strut with wrench and loosen up the bottom of the top half with an open end wrench and the inside will slide out through the top where you can knock out the pin that captures the spring.

I just checked my PC and phone but couldn't find any pics. With my memory, I barely remember working on it to be honest but I do know I took it out of the frame to work on it. I would call BVM as they are super helpful and could probably explain it to you better over the phone as opposed to what I posted. Sorry I couldn't help more.
