Strut change in progress

[wlas]

This is how I change out struts, works real good, the jack has worked to get me unstuck in overflow many a time. I am putting new airframes struts on this F-19. The top end of the pipe has two bolts welded, that fit on the strut at the wing and strut attach fitting and can't slip off. I am using it (in the picture) with a 2X4 that has two holes drilled, so the welded bolts fit in and hold the board in place. Pretty easy to build, also works good for changing from wheels to skis. Sometime back someone was asking how to jack up and change tires, so I thought I would post this.
