SEB95-20 Nose gear actuator down lock pin inspection

Important to review/understand the SB to prevent NLG collapse. 2nd attachment is real world example of NLG collapse due to not performing SEB95-20.

Any idea on a shop that’s done this and approximate cost?

In late 2020 Air Repair in Prescott, AZ performed SEB95-20 as part of our prebuy and cost was $1300, which is approximately 10 labor hours. Air Repair's mechanics had maintained R182s so were familiar with this SB, meaning other unfamiliar shops may take longer/cost more.
We borrowed the drill guide tool(PN1290009-3) to avoid the cost of SK210-155(approx.$3000) which kept the cost low by avoiding the cost of the Service Kit. We're working on sourcing of the drill guide or Service Kit for a reasonable cost for the type club members.
