threaded rods fixed it.

I am reluctant of putting= the=20 airplane on jacks and do a complete gear

Someone told me (unfortunately I don't remember who) that I = can=20 leave
the plane on the main gear and just use a hoist with ropes aroun= d=20 the
prop and lift the nose gear of the ground and then move the gear= =20 switch
up (after unlocking it).

The hydraulic pressure is not h= igh=20 enough to move the mains but it will
move the nose gear. Is this an ok= =20 procedure to use? Do I need to remove
the spinner if I wrap a rope aro= und=20 the 2 blades of my 3 blade prop?

Thanks for your=20 input

Ralf
