I just figured out how to stretch the bungee ring to get it into 

position on the XL nose gear.  I started with a piece of 1 inch PVC 

pipe with one end cut at a 45 degree angle.  After positioning the 

bungee ring in the hook at the aft side of the nose gear column I 

placed the pipe through the ring with the point over the front 

tube.  Just a simple lift of the pipe and the bungee stretched and 

slid right into place.



I doubt this method will help with removing the ring or doing 

anything with it when the engine is installed, but it got me past 

this point in the build.

How about a picture of your tool?

For me the best tool I have found for the nose gear bungee (that i got off this Matronics site) is a 1/2" socket breaker bar.  The 1/2" square drive fits in the gear strut hole and by pulling the handle of the breaker bar up, the bungee slides easily on.  



Good luck,
