Another note about the primary nose gear down lock. It is hard to see! And it may look like it is locked down, but mirrors and gap gauges must be used to verify.
Another "got ya" about the primary NG down lock. There are two halves, a left hook and a right hook. Connecting the two halves is a piece of plastic on original equipment (replacement parts are metal). If that plastic pin is broken the two halves will not work properly. So, to check, wiggle one side of the down lock (while it is locked down); the other side should move identical to the side you are wiggling. If you wiggle one side, but the other side doesn't move then that connecting pin is broken.
