 Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2007 3:55 pm Post subject: Rudder Pedal Bearing Blocks - Too tight ain't right |
 |
|
I am trying to install my rudder pedels WD1006R/L and find that the F1039A Rudder pedal bearing blocks fit very tight restricting the movement of the pedals which I feel should move quite freely. I have tried to work the uncoated ends of the pedels down with a die grinder and some rubbing compound, but have not been sucessful in getting them loose so that the pedals float freely as they hang. I am very reluctant to try gringing into the delrin/nylon blocks as I am afraid of leaving abrasive material behind that would make the tighness even worse.
Please give me some suggestions
See you in OSH - hope to meet some of the folks on the list

I found the same problem in my RV-9A. I finally used a sharp utility knife
to carefully shave out a little excess material in the blocks to slightly
increase the hole diameter.

Bevel the edges of the hole on the bearing blocks and then coat the metal
and the block with BoeLube or Vasoline.
