How do you guys jack your Bearhawk legs when you need to patch a tube or otherwise remove the wheel/tire? Did you make a little cup or jack point that wraps around the inside of the axle where the strut attaches? On my Cessna 170 I used a purpose-built jackpad and bottle jack. The other day I just wanted to jack it up to briefly pull the wheel off but had to scratch my head a little instead.
Another issue is complete removal of the gear legs (going to reform my trailing edge fairings.) Before I had the firewall in place I had two long 2x4s that I bolted through to the engine mount holes.
I guess a hoist and lifting rings would be the ticket.
