I have collected these notes over the years and wanted to post them if they would help others.

 

Many of them I developed for myself as a maintenance or reassembly guide for my own 914s.

Some of these are not complete, and accuracy is believed correct, but not guaranteed.

Let me of know of any errors you find or missing info and I will make corrections.

 

A few of these were created by others and I have posted them here for reference,

but do not remember the author. If you know, tell me and I will give them credit.
