Isn't this interesting in light of recent events!
Hey, I've got an idea, why don't they get their pilots or their high-altitude waitresses to "tackle" it....
United Set To Tackle 777 Gear Overhauls

United's San Francisco maintenance center will break new ground next week when it starts overhaul work on Boeing 777 landing gear, making it the first airline shop to tackle the job in-house, the carrier says.
The work, which United says is being done independently of heavy airframe checks, will be kick-started by pulling equipment off the first aircraft and replacing it with new-off-the-shelf gear. A United team then will take about 90 days to analyze and overhaul the gear removed from the plane, readying it for a return to service on the next 777 that comes in.
The landing gear program was developed by a team of employees representing component maintenance, plating and machining, inspection, inventory planning, material distribution, engineering, plane overhaul and strategic planning, the carrier says.
