For anyone interested (keep this in mind for the future)
I finally removed the tongue strut after pulling every bolt out of the tongue. Here is the proper removal procedures if you can't get yours out: Remove hitch from front of tube. Remove the spacer bar from inside of the tube. Remove the two bolts retaining the strut in place. Pull the strut forward as far as you can and remove the head of the strut that the bolt goes through. The head of mine unscrewed from the shaft. Remove the one big bolt that retains the parking brake handle and lower the mechanism that has the actuator attached to the rod which actuates the brakes. Remove the fuselage from the trailer and remove the dust cap on the end of the tube inside of the trailer. Take a long, slender stick and shove it from the outside towards the inside of the trailer. This will push the tongue strut to where you can grab it inside of the trailer. Reverse procedures to install. This probably could have been removed and installed in about 20 minutes time but because I must have a really rare Cobra, it has taken me 2+ hours just to get it out. I can't be the only person with this design....... Brian |
