I was gazing at the nose gear door actuator to see what was entailed in R&R
ing it..
I noticed that most of the leak I have noticed was actually coming form the
pump.
I appears to be leaking from the reservoir to pump interface. I took the
pump out to see what kind of "O" ring or gasket was used. I found some
kind of Sillycone around the edge that was basically falling off. I don't
know if this stuff was put on as a fix or it cam from the factory like that?
I tried to take the reservoir off but I guess I'm not smart enough. I
twisted it, I pulled on it, no go. I was pretty gentle as I didn't want to
break the plastic reservoir.
How do I separate the reservoir from the pump?
What is the accepted method of sealing this thing?
