My advice for this is from Bud Yerly - Put chocks under the main gear on both
front
and rear of the wheels. Use rope and four cinder blocks - two on each side.
Take the stabs off. Run the ropes through each two block set - (one block fore
and aft of the stab control shaft). The first time you will have to adjust
the length of the ropes to get the nose wheel where you want it. The blocks
should
just hit the ground - it adds to the stability. Put the two sets of cinder
blocks on - and it will pick up the nose wheel right where you want (after
adjustment of the ropes). Works very well and goes well with my other precision
Europa tools (the carpeted bench to lay on when working across the baggage
area in the rear, and my wooden stand to hold up the tail when I am working in
the rear.

Many thanks, Bud
Last week me and our local mechanic used just that tube/bar into the wheel
method
and it worked great for getting the mains off and back on.
This week it's time for the nose wheel.
Now, my Europa has a self-retracting (spring-loaded) tail tie-down. I'm unsure
whether this is standard or something that the builder came up with himself (as
I recall, it might be custom for this a/c individual).
Any idea if such a tie-down would be safe to use for raising the nose gear?
I'll sure check with the builder as well, but any thoughts would be welcome.

A&P mechanics have no idea what to do with a Europa when the pilot/owner non
builder
is confronted with something as simple as a tire change or annual service.

Ron,
This is an early GRT EFIS magnetometer that has two 3 wire shielded cables. I
put ferrites on both wires.
GRT recommends placing the magnetometer in the wing tip. But since I
anticipated
using both sets of wings, I did not want to have to recalibrate the magnetometer
when switching wings, hence the interior placement overhead.
