Van's issued a Service Bulletin a week or so ago because a flight school in Florida found a crack in the nose gear last year, so it redesigned the gear to strengthen it. Mine arrived today ($390), and I took the old gear off and bolted the new gear on, then reattached the wheel assembly.
I'll have to take the tire off at some point when it's more comfortable to work in the hangar because I have to set the breakout force for the assembly, then drill a hole for a cotter pin.
