VIDEO: Emirates completes its first A380 full gear change
Emirates' maintenance division has completed the first entire landing-gear change for one of its Airbus A380s. The Dubai-based airline says that replacement of the aircraft's nose and four main landing gears was executed within a 14-day period at Emirates Engineering's facility.

It's amazing what they do with jigs to cradle those HUGE aircraft assemblies. Very impressive.
What was wrong with the original set of A380 landing gear? I'm sure those will hit the used landing gear market pretty soon so I expect to see those in the bazaars in Morocco.
The gear will likely have a major ovehaul and then be returned for service on a future aircraft
Would make a great off road vehicle.
Wonder how many hours or cycles were on this landing gear when it was removed, and if it will be the first gear evaluated on the A380 with a significant level of accumulated time?
Nice
maintenance. I worked for a company that had long term contacts on high value equipment and scheduled component changeout was routine. We live in a sophisticated world.
