Not cutting the new seals as they go in is the trick. Buy a half dozen or so. They are cheap and that way you won't be grounded while you wait for delivery of more... Pretty detailed instructions with a search. I can find the seal part number but I posted it on the last thread on the topic.
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!

strut tube leaks in the bottom.
Thanks for the help guys. I've found the hole in the strut tubes and attempting to seal them up.
It looks to me that if you have the spring assembly inserted in the tube at the wrong angle then the bolts that hold the spring on can puncture the bottom of the tube. Or at least barely nick the edges and cause very small holes. The other option might be to grind the last bolt down so it doesn't stick out so much. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

It is hard to tell from the pic that you took of the bottom mount, it almost looks like it is cracked at the edge of the weld. I just installed extended gear today and both of the uni-balls in the main gear where the bottom of the oleos attach were cracked. Make sure while you have things apart you check those also.....
best of luck!

No great story started with a good idea...

Yes. Have new NAS bolts to put in there. I've seen the 50 posts on this forum about replacing those bolts with the NAS ones.
I don't have a good picture of the cracks. I took some pics with my borescope and have not transferred them to the computer yet. Needed the bore scrape because the cracks are deep down in the tube.
When I put a flashing strobe in one end and look through the other end you could see very small pulses of light! so there was definitely a hole in it. And the hole did not show from the outside of the tube, it was between the two different tube shapes.
I'll upload a picture later to help clarify this.
