<p>I tied down my at the tie down hook and removed my nose wheel in its entirety. Just go into it knowing it is a total PITA job. I expected the worst, and it took me about 2 hrs. Not too shabby, but definitely not "FUN". Bungee BTW I took off the top plate, the lower nose gear guide made out of .125 and disconnected my stearing linkages. I thought that was easier than trying to feed the bungee through and used a special tool to stretch it. Just my 2 cents. It's how I got it on in the…</p>

<p>Barry,</p>
<p>Not 100% sure about the 600 but for the 601's the part number for the nose gear shock cord is 1080HD. Also assuming the gear leg is similar to the 601's and 701's you have to take the gear leg off to get the bungee on. I've changed my twice and it takes about 2 hours to do.</p>
