Installing front landing gears pinnacle

[Tryintoretire]

I'm stranded in a campground,waiting on two new front landing gears.if i install my self,is it a matter of stabilizing unit with bottle jacks,unbolting the old installing new and plugging in ? Any secrets here?

Yes. One potential hiccup will be on the passenger side landing gear. The bolt that holds it in was put on before the walls/front cap so you won’t be able to remove it. You’ll have to cut it and replace it. Other than that it’s pretty straight forward and pretty easy to replace.

Magnolia tom ... you so right once i cut out The bolts everything sprung ,they must weld in place and the bracket expand and contract,had to drill out the holes to make the bolts work!! Thanks

What happened to your landing gear??
Stripped out? Like a few of us here.

I’m getting more PO’d about this.

While unloading ,the right front popped loudly and stopped working it was loose and not holding a load.then I realized the left front was not working and holding all the load.lippert agreed to “good will” ship two new ones. We installed ourself in the campground. When we get home I will cut them apart and send pix.pinnacle is three years old and now four of six have been replaced

No need to cut yours open.
I’ve already done it and yours will look the same.
Tom cut his too..looked the same.
Here’s the pictures.
