Hi all,



Well after 3.5 / 680 hours my tail wheel bearings finally decided to part

company from the bearing race.



I can't see any identifying numbers on the side of the bearing and I was

wondering if anyone has replaced a set, and if so could give me a part

number.



Thanks - Paul

Hi Paul,



I replaced mine from day one because they were such poor quality but I cant

remember the number.  Aircraft Spruce sell a replacement bearing part number

06-00060 for about $10. which looks like it is the right one.  It is in the

Homebuilders Special Tailwheels section.

Paul,

It would be worth your while searching previous posts on this as there was a 

lot of debate on suitable alternatives; the originals being "rubbish", 

although yours have lasted well!

Hello Erich,

  

  > I replaced the original tail wheel bearings  with sealed ball bearings from a local parts house.  If I recall the O.D  was a perfect match, however, a spacer was required for the I.D.  The  sealed bearings are much quieter than the original and do not require  maintenance. 

  

 Like yours, the OD of the bearings I used were also a good fit.  How  did you stop the wheel hub from migrating along them ?

  

 I installed a groove with circlips on the inner side of the bearings to  retain them and having not put it all to the test yet, I'm hoping the circlips  will be secure enough for any jarring loads.

  

 Like you, I put a spacer between the inner race.

  

 Cheers

 Kingsley
