Thethroughtravelof the link is checked as follows:
(1.) With the gear in the DOWNpositionand the stop surfacesof the drag links touching, checkthe linkage is 0.063 to 0.156 inches throughcenter.
NOTE:Thelinkagemustnot exceed 0.156inchesthroughcenter.Afabricatedtool can be constructed to check through-center whilethe
travel of the drag link assembly linksare installed onthe airplane. (Referto 32-20-00 Figure501).)

(2.) To use the fabricated tool, be sure the gear is in the down locked position with no hydraulic pressure on the system.
(3.) Remove cotter pins which safety the nuts securing both upper drag links to their attachment plates and the lower link to the gear housing.
(4.) Place the tool tube through the elongated hole in the tool plate. Place the tube over and between the upper link attaching nuts.
(5.) Swing the plate up against the head of the bolt connecting the upper and lower links. The plate sleeve slides over the nut of the bolt connecting the lower link to the gear housing.
(6.) Look through the right hole in the plate to ensure the center of the bolt is 0.063 to 0.156 of an inch below the centerline on the plate.
(7.) Remove tool and reinstall cotter pins.
