SM F-16 strut leak
 

Hi,
My F-16 main gear strut is leaking oil and I assume it's a bad o-ring.
I was wondering if there's any instructions on how to take it apart to replace the o-ring.
Thanks,
Jon

I need the hardware to service the struts, how do you get them?

Its actually very simple to pull them apart, however. Getting those parts, gonna be an issue that takes Time.

Have you guys tried BVM. I could possibly face similar dilemma in the near future With my latest project. Let me know what you guys find out.

I haven't but I'm going to call Monday.
might be quicker to just by the strut.

A couple of years ago John sent me a couple of sets of the seals that are rubber and hold the oil and air in the F-16 oleo struts. For free ! believe it or not. Have you e mailed him. They fit in the bottom of the strut and seal between the moving and non moving parts of the strut. BV used to sell the kit to put the oil in and the oil for about 35 bucks

John at Skymaster?

Yes, he will take care of you
