PA30 door hinges and handle
by Frank Brunot » Sun Jun 29, 2014 10:56 pm
Two questions:
The figure in the maintenance manual shows a horizontal pin in the lower part of the hinge. How do you drive this out, since the back of the hinge is against the airframe skin?
One of the hinge pins is stuck. I've tried using a 3/16" pin punch with no luck. Any suggestions on how to remove it?
What's the trick to get the spring clip through the door handle shaft and over the locking mechanism shaft? Is there a special tool? I hate to rip the new leather with a screw driver.
