lubing landing gears
can anyone give me a measurement from the top on inside to drill hole to grease the jack screw

Should be a cover plate on top that pops off.....then you can put some grease on the gear pack.
Then without dropping the inner tube (the pinned leg) fully extend the drive leg.
Clean it up and then use a 'dry' graphite spray...goes on wet and then dries and doesn't attract dirt (or a silicone spray)
Retract and then drop inner tube and spray it.
You do NOT want to grease the legs.....they will get gummed up/attract dirt.
