Pete Somers is an unknown quantity at this point
We used to put the nose on a jack and lift clear of the ground, chock behind both main wheels and put the u/c lever up and pump the gear until the nose gear unlocks. The shimmy damper is easy to get to then. The mains cannot unlock and go up due to the weight of the airplane.
