Posted for "Bob Jude" <bobjude@charter.net>:
Judging from recent postings here and my own experience with repairing the
LNC2 main gear hydraulic cylinders, the rubber washer referred to under the
nut on the center shaft is probably the most failure-prone part in the
cylinder and should be included in the repair kit.  In my case, it was the
source of the failure.  Upon initial disassembly, the frayed washer and
small pieces of it in the cylinder were evident.  The O rings which were
supplied in the repair kit did not need to be replaced.
Someone mentioned that the part number and procurement source for this
washer are known.  I must have missed it.  Can you please repeat that
information.  I still have the failed cylinder in need of the washer.  I
purchased a new cylinder to replace it so I get back to flying.

needed for our cylinders, but part #93783A030 will get you close. Use
Vaseline on the rubber when installing new washers to prevent damage.>>>>
