Out of the 100-series service manual.

I'll do this in some abbrvtd method (I don't type more than I have to):

quote on

1. Remove valve cap and release all **AIR** (emphasis mine)
2. Remove valve housing
3. Compress strut completely
4. Fill strut with hydraulic fluid to valve hole
5. Get nose wheel off the ground
6. Replace valve housing and inflate: 35 psi (or 20 psi on the 150 and 50
psi on the 182 both models after the 1961 model year)

quote off

Note they said to release AIR and not nitrogen. They don't specify WHAT to
inflate with, so it is left to the A&P to determine the correct gas.
However, you might infer from the first instruction that they expect air.

Don't have the manual. Guess it says to use compressed air and not
nitrogen huh?
