Good afternoon team.
I cheated and bought my rv 8a. I changed my main tires with a a&p buddy. One tire was out of round.
I’m still chasing down a shimmy so I’m going to replace the nose tire and adjust the breakout force.
I’ve done a search but I have not seen how to jack the plane up to accomplish this task.
I have two hydraulic jacks,an adjustable tail stand, and weights.
What is the best way to elevate the nose enough to make this happen?
And Specifically where do I put sandbags/push on the tail to raise the nose?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
