1. General
A. The procedures outlined in this manual provide for overhaul of the nose landing gear assembly as
defined in 14 CFR Part 43.2.
B. A complete visual inspection of the nose landing gear assembly, including repacking of the strut is
recommended any time the lower nose gear piston and fork assembly is disassembled for any reason.
2. Description
A. The nose landing gear assembly is designed and assembled to permit maneuverability of the airplane
on the ground and to retract into the nose wheel well when airborne. It is designed to absorb shock
during airplane takeoffs, landings and taxiing and is equipped with nose wheel steering. The principal
subassemblies of the nose gear are the trunnion assembly, shock strut assembly, fork and torque
links.
(1) The cylinder, piston and an isolation piston are the shock absorbing portion of the nose landing
gear assembly. The isolation piston floats within the piston assembly. The chamber above the
isolation piston contains hydraulic fluid and the chamber below the isolation piston is charged
with nitrogen. O-ring type packings are used on the isolation piston to separate the hydraulic fluid
and nitrogen. The cylinder assembly is supported within the trunnion by bearings and retainers
which permit rotation around the centerline of the cylinder.
(2) The trunnion is connected to the shock strut and attaches to the sides of the wheel well with
bolts to allow the gear assembly to be retracted into the nose wheel well by a hydraulic actuator.
(3) The fork is press fitted to the bottom of the piston assembly and should not be separated unless
warranted by unserviceable conditions, such as cracks or material flaws.
(4) Torque links prevent the piston and fork from rotating within the cylinder assembly. The upper
torque link is connected to the bottom of the cylinder and the lower torque link is connected to
the piston-fork assembly. Mounted on the aft side of the strut, the torque links are connected
together to permit piston vertical movement in the cylinder.
B. The nose gear is equipped with a shimmy damper. Refer to Shimmy Damper - Description and
Operation for information concerning component operation and maintenance of the nose wheel
shimmy damper.
C. The nose gear wheel is steerable and actuated by a bungee and cables connected to the rudder
pedals. Refer to the Model 560XL Maintenance Manual, Chapter 32, Steering - Description and
Operation and Steering - Maintenance Practices for operation and maintenance of the nose wheel
steering.
D. The following nose landing gear assembly part numbers are affected by this individual component
maintenance manual:
3. Operation
A. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. As weight of the airplane is applied to the nose landing gear assembly,
the piston assembly is forced to slide into the barrel assembly. This movement causes a tapered
metering pin, mounted at the top of the barrel, to increasingly restrict hydraulic fluid flow through the
orifice. The restricted fluid flow on the top of the isolation piston and the compressed nitrogen below
the isolation piston dampens the movement of the piston assembly and absorbs compression shocks.
As weight of the airplane is removed from the nose gear assembly, the compressed nitrogen forces

the isolation piston toward the top of the piston chamber. Hydraulic fluid is forced through the fixed
orifice at the top of the piston that is becoming increasingly unrestricted as the tapered metering pin
is withdrawn from the fixed orifice while the piston assembly extends.
CAUTION: Phosphate ester base hydraulic fluid will damage and/or deteriorate
a wide range of materials including rubber, copper, various plastics
and paints.
(1) Make sure that hydraulic fluid will not contact any part of the component outside of the oleo.
Keep spillage to an absolute minimum. Immediately clean up spilled hydraulic fluid to prevent
contamination of non-hydraulic components and to avoid false hydraulic leak detections. If
spillage occurs, wipe up the fluid with a dry cloth and wash area with naptha, MIL-PRF-680
(Type III), or Methyl n-Propyl Ketone.
(2) When gear components are disassembled, provide suitable protection to prevent entry of foreign
material by using caps and/or covers.
(3) Always check angle and position of components prior to disassembly to ensure proper alignment
and placement of components and hardware during assembly or replacement.
(4) Use naptha, MIL-PRF-680 (Type III), or Methyl n-Propyl Ketone when washing metal parts prior
to assembly. Remove all traces of the cleaning agent before assembly.
(5) Use only clean hydraulic fluid for flushing or testing hydraulic components.
(6) Do not unpack seals and O-rings/packings until they are required. Ensure that only correct and
approved seals and O-rings/packings are used.

CAUTION: Take special care not to contaminate seals and O-rings/ packings
after lubrication.
CAUTION: Prevent contamination of phosphate ester base hydraulic fluid with
other hydraulic fluids, oil, water or dirt.
(7) When assembling the gear shock strut hydraulic seals and O-rings/packings, lubricate only with
phosphate ester base hydraulic fluid. Always lubricate seals and O-rings/packings immediately
before installation. Threaded fittings should be assembled without the use of lubricants
whenever possible. If a lubricant is required to prevent galling or to otherwise ease installation,
use phosphate ester base hydraulic fluid or VV-P-236 Petrolatum.

NOTE: Equivalent substitutes may be used for the following listed items:
CAUTION: When mixing solutions, always add acid to water; never add water
to acid.
(1) Check the chromium plated surfaces of the shock strut assembly for scratches, scores, blisters,
and nicks. All suspected defects should be tested to determine if the base metal has been
exposed. To test, apply liberally to the suspected areas a copper sulphate solution consisting of
100 grams cupric sulphate, five (5) milliliters sulphuric acid and one (1) liter of water. Wipe off
excess liquid and inspect, using a strong light and a magnifying lens. If the chrome plating has
been penetrated, a copper coating will adhere to the ferrous metal. Clean the area thoroughly
using solvent. If the chrome plating has been penetrated, the part shall not be returned to
airplane use. Defects that have not penetrated the chrome plating should be honed and polished
to remove sharp edges that could damage seals. A honing stone or crocus cloth may be used
for this purpose.
D. Checking for Corrosion
(1) Check the lower bearing seal area of the upper barrel for corrosion. If signs of corrosion are
found, clean the upper barrel lower seal surface area. To clean, degrease the entire lower
bearing area with an approved solvent to remove all grease and dirt, refer to Nose Landing
Gear Assembly - Cleaning. Wipe off the solvent with a clean absorbent rag. Remove all solvent
residue. Make sure that no corrosion exists on the uppermost 0.57 inch (14.478 mm) of the
bearing surface. Refer to Figure 501. If corrosion is found in this area the upper barrel must be
replaced. Use a dial micrometer with a pointed tip to determine if the upper barrel lower seal
surface area can be reworked, refer to Nose Gear Assembly - Repair. Use aluminum tape or
other suitable tape and mask off the upper most 0.57 inch (14.478 mm) of the bearing surface.
Refer to Figure 501. Remove the corrosion from the outer surface with glass bead peening.
Corrosion Inspection
Figure 501 (Sheet 1)
1. Repair
A. Tools and Equipment
scratches, pits and scoring that do not penetrate the chrome plating are relatively unimportant.
The sharp edges of the nicks should be removed by honing and polishing. The presence of
defects in this area, if properly repaired, are considered acceptable.
D. Exterior Surface Repair
(1) Scratches and nicks that have been repaired on forgings by sanding or polishing must be color
film treated prior to application of paint.
E. Chemical Film Treatment
(1) Process
(a) Clean with a solvent wipe.
(b) Deoxidize using ScotchBrite, or equivalent, wet with water. Abrade the area to be chemical
filmed until it is uniformly bright and "white" in color. Keeping the surface wet with water,
continue to the next step.
(c) While the detail is still wet from deoxidizing, apply chemical film coating solution by brush
or swab. Keep a continuous wet film by repeated application separated by one minute time
intervals. This must be done until a detectable yellow to brown color film is formed. Typical
time for application is 1 to 5 minutes at room temperature.
(d) Blot away the excess color film treatment, using a water dampened, clean, soft cloth or
swab. Use care when blotting as the fresh film is soft when just formed. Dispose of cloths
according to environmental regulations.
(e) Thoroughly flush area with water. Air dry or blow dry with oil free compressed air.
Temperature must not exceed 130°F (55°C).
NOTE: When using Alodine 1203, deoxidizing with ScotchBrite is only necessary if
there is heavy oxidation. To chemical film, solvent wipe, dry, and brush on
Alodine 1203. After conversion treatment, rinse thoroughly with cold water and
dry.
NOTE: If a surface is allowed to dry before pretreatment is completed, start over with
manual deoxidizing.
F. Prime as soon as possible, but within 4 hours.
NOTE: It is recommended that the part be primed as soon as the chemical film is dry (about
30 minutes). After 4 hours, the chemical film treated area must be solvent wiped before
priming.
G. Painting
H. Service placards
(1) Bond filling instruction placard (15) to trunnion (3). Edge seal placard with clear urethane enamel
to protect adhesive against fluids.
(2) Apply towing instruction placards (16, 166). Edge seal placard with clear urethane enamel to
protect adhesive against fluids.
(3) Apply turn stop indicators to trunnion and barrel. Refer to Figure 601. Edge seal placard with
clear urethane enamel to protect adhesive against fluids.
(4) Apply the quick release pin placard (229) to the upper torque link (Airplanes 5501 and On, that
have a quick release pin in the torque link). Use clear urethane enamel to seal the edges of the
placard. This will protect the placard against damage from fluids.
I. Upper Barrel Bearing Surface Repair
(1) If the maximum pit depth is 0.005 inches (0.127 mm) or less, do the following:
(a) Apply colored chemical film treatment to the machined area. Refer to Chemical Film
Treatment and Figure 602.
(b) Apply epoxy primer coat to bearing surface. Refer to Figure 602.
(c) Cure the coating by using the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: This primer must be completely cured to have phosphate ester hydraulic fluid
resistance.
(d) Add identification plate to reworked upper barrel assembly, refer to Figure 601.
(e) Apply colored chemical film treatment to the machined area. Refer to Chemical Film
Treatment and Figure 602.
(f) Apply epoxy primer coat to bearing surface. Refer to Figure 602.
(g) Cure the coating by using the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: This primer must be completely cured to have phosphate ester hydraulic fluid
resistance.
NOTE: Procedures for replacement of bushings are typical. If holes into which bushings are to be
installed are oversized for the standard bushings, the existing holes may be reamed out to
the dimensions noted for each specific application in Table 601.
1. Assembly
B. Piston Assembly
(1) Soak the new O-rings and backup rings in HyJet IV A Plus hydraulic fluid for a minimum of two
hours.
NOTE: It is important that the O-rings and backup rings are soaked in HyJet IV A Plus
hydraulic fluid. The HyJet IV A Plus hydraulic fluid will make the O-rings swell to
provide a better seal against the piston. HyJet IV A Plus is used because it provides
the most O-ring swell of the phosphate ester hydraulic fluids. If HyJet IV A Plus is
not commercially available, contact Citation Parts Distribution.
(2) Install O-ring (304) and backup ring (305) onto plug (306).
(3) Thread plug (306) into piston tube (307) ensuring holes for bolt (325) and valve adapter (330)
are properly aligned.
C. Piston and Fork Assembly
(1) If fork has been removed from piston, coat mating surfaces of piston and fork with nonchromated
primer and press piston into fork socket.
NOTE: Valve hole and attach holes in piston barrel and fork must be aligned when installing
piston.
(3) Install one rubber O-ring (163) and two Teflon O-rings (164) on isolation piston (300). Refer to
Teflon O-ring Installation.
NOTE: Teflon O-rings (164) are not for sealing, but serve as bearings and should be replaced
ONLY if visual examination indicates wear which would impair the bearing function
of Teflon O-rings.
NOTE: If Teflon O-rings are not being replaced, it is not necessary to use T250200-3 and
T250200-4 tools to insert isolation piston (300) into piston tube (307) because the
Teflon O-rings will remain compressed sufficiently to be inserted without the use of

D. Teflon O-ring Installation (Refer to Figure 701).
NOTE: Teflon O-rings (164) are not for sealing, but serve as bearings and should be removed only
if replacement is visually indicated because of wear which would impair bearing function of
Teflon O-rings. Teflon O-ring replacement is not required for overhaul of the nose landing
gear.
CAUTION: The tools used for installation of Teflon O-rings may be damaged if
not treated with care. The T250200-2 expander cone has an edge
machined to a knife edge. Any nicks or gouges or burrs will prevent
the mating of the cone with the isolation piston or may cut the O-
ring when the O-ring passes over the damaged spot on the tool.
Scratches or burrs in the compression tool or insertion tool may cut
not only the Teflon O-rings but also the rubber O-ring.
(1) Fit the T250200-2 expansion cone over the end of the isolation piston (300).

(5) After lock ring (161) is installed, make sure that all bare surfaces are treated with epoxy primer.
F. Barrel Installation (Refer to Figure 705).
CAUTION: The bearings (155) and (91) must be installed with the grooves towards
the top and bottom openings of the nose landing gear trunnion. If the
bearings are not installed correctly it can cause the nosewheel steering
to not move easily, incorrect thrust loading on the bearings, and for the
bearings to fall out of the NLG assembly during the disassembly.
(1) Install the bearing (155) and the excluder seal (165) in the bottom of the trunnion (3).
(2) Slide the barrel (167) into the bottom of the trunnion (3).
(3) Install the bearing (91) in the top of the trunnion (3) and secure it with the retainer (92).
CAUTION: Make sure that sealant does not block the drain opening on the
bearing cover (93) when it is fay sealed to the trunnion (3).
(4) Apply a fay seal with Type X, Class B sealant between the top of the trunnion (3) and the bearing
cover flange (93). Refer to the Citation Standard Practices Manual, Chapter 20, Fuel, Weather,
Pressure and High-Temperature Sealing - Maintenance Practices.
(5) Install the bearing cover (93) on the trunnion (3) with the arrow pointing forward.
(a) Make sure that sealant does not block the drain opening on the bearing cover (93).

I. Valve and Plug Installation.
(1) Soak the new O-rings and backup rings in HyJet IV A Plus hydraulic fluid for a minimum of two
hours.
NOTE: It is important that the O-rings and backup rings are soaked in HyJet IV A Plus
hydraulic fluid. The HyJet IV A Plus hydraulic fluid will make the O-rings swell to
provide a better seal against the piston. HyJet IV A Plus is used because it provides
the most O-ring swell of the phosphate ester hydraulic fluids. If HyJet IV A Plus is
not commercially available, contact Citation Parts Distribution.
CAUTION: Special care must be exercised when installing O-ring and backup
ring on the valve adapter, and O-ring on pneumatic service valve
to avoid scratching or marring the rings. Special care for rings is
required because of the extremely high transient pressures which
occur on landing.
(2) If necessary, install O-ring (329A) on pneumatic service valve (329). Use a protective covering
over threads to avoid scratching or marring rings during installation.
(3) Install pneumatic service valve adapter (330), O-ring (331) and backup ring (332).
(4) Install pneumatic service valve (329).

J. Extension Check (Refer to Figure 703).
(1) Apply approximately 50 PSIG (335 kPa) nitrogen to the service valve to allow the strut to fully
extend.
(2) Measure the distance between the bottom of the trunnion and the top of the fork. If this dimension
exceeds 9.10 inches (231 mm), the components must be rechecked for proper size and proper
assembly.
(a) Check the height of the spacer (154), ring pack support assembly (159) and proper
assembly of the bearing and orifice assembly (150).
K. Lubrication.
(1) Grease torque link lubrication points with grease per MIL-G-23827.
(2) Do the steps that follow to lubricate the upper and lower bearings (91, 155).
