Help ! My Tail wheel suspension Jack (Cylinder) slowly goes down. I have stripped and cleaned it and found quite a lot of oil inside . Is that correct ?
Where can I get a rebuild SEAL kit from ?
Must be Nitrogen or can I use AIR ?
I have pumped it up and put it in water but cannot see any bubbles leaking..very odd
Any help advise , much appreciated especially as to where I can get a rebuild kit from
Thanks

Sorry...dry air works in a pinch but I prefer Nitrogen.

Try West London Aero Club. They have bushing and spring kit that restores the functionality of the strut. I am not aware of a seal kit for the unit not saying one could not be fabricated if there was enough demand.

I just found a local hydraulic cylinder repair shop in town and brought in my tail wheel strut seals and found a match from their bench stock. I used ordinary air when I refilled it. That was 2007 and it has been working normally since. I think total cost was $5. Jj

The hydraulic cylinder repair shop literally brought out a box full of seals and him and I just rummaged through them until I found one that looked and felt the same. Not scientific I realize or official YAK part or near enough $$$ but it's the way I roll and again, trouble free now 5 years. Jj

While we are talking about this tail wheel oleo ..... My seals leak a bit as well. Not real fast, but they leak. The idea of using seal replacements from the local hydraulic repair shop is a cool idea, but ... also too.....
One thing I have found is that in some cases you do not need an adapter that screws down onto the fill valve and pushes down on the Schrader like fitting when filling the tailwheel oleo. If the air pressure is high enough, it just "goes in anyway".
So, after the oleo is all fixed with new seals, you could simply attach a FLEXIBLE hose to the fill fitting, and then have a Schrader valve on the other end mounted into (on to?) the access panel. Kind of like what is being done now (more or less) on the actual aircraft external air fill port.
One just puts a hose on there, pumps in some pressure and Voila ... the oleo is now re-pressurized.
Instead of:
Taking out all the screws.
Removing the panel.
Taking off the fill port cap on the oleo.
Screwing on the special fill tool.
Screwing down the fill tool Schrader valve "opener"
Applying air pressure, filling oleo.
Reverse all this and then put it all back together.
Just an idea. Never tried it. (You listening Jan?

I don’t know if Yaks are the same, but on our CJ, we removed the valve in the Schrader fitting on our external fill port 15 years ago (someone thought it would turn into a lethal projectile if it blew out). A one-way, internal high pressure valve prevents air from escaping. YRMV.

Just remember, if you are using pressure to open the Schrader valve, it will function as a pressure reducing valve. If it requires 150 psi to open, then the pressure on the downstream side of the valve will be 150 psi less than on the upstream side of the valve. If you need 1000 psi in the oleo and you use 1000 psi nitrogen without using something to mechanically open the Schrader valve, the pressure in the oleo will be 850 psi.

Mark is absolutely correct: reservicing without a schrader valve works
well. I've done it several times.
About the seals: indeed it is possible to find replacements in an ordinary
shop. A friend with a Yak 50 had the seals in the tailwheel oleo replaced
by X-shaped quad rings from such a shop.
But he also had the cylinder honed because there was some corrosion. Since
then (several years) he had no problem anymore.
I tried the solution with the spring replacement a few years ago. But
IMHO, this is too hard: it hammers too hard, the spring inside the oleo,
so you risk hammering the rivets loose.
So I went back to the oleo with nitrogen.
But occasionally I have to fill with nitrogen. So next time, I'll replace
the seals with quad rings.

On Yak 52's, there is no Schrader valve fitting on the external air fill
port unless someone installed one. If someone did install a Schrader
valve, most definitely the valve core that comes with them should be
removed. Even if the valve core is a high pressure valve core, it is
unnecessary because of the check valves in the system already.

Group,
I have the tail strut seal kit in stock. I also stock the Yak 50 MLG
actuator seal kits. Years ago, we manufactured a batch of stainless
tailwheel cylinders for the Yak 50. We haven't had any calls for them
recently, but I am open to manufacturing another batch.
Pacific Oil Cooler does a great job on oil coolers. They also have some
good info on their website: www.oilcoolers.com .

On the YAK-50, there is a one way directional check valve that prevents backflow of high pressure air to the external fill port.

Great theory, and I agree that your premise is accurate.... but it does
not seem to work like that.
When you increase air to the YAK-50 oleo, at a certain point there is a
loud buzzing like sound as the valve cycles quickly. I have a highly
accurate high pressure regulator connected to the input using nitrogen.
I then closed the air input to the regulator, and opened the valve
manually on the Oleo input. This allowed the air to escape back to the
regulator pressure gage where it could be read. It was about 50 PSI
lower than the initial regulator setting that allowed the air to flow
into the oleo to begin with.
I have no idea why. Interesting discussion, but for me, I was just glad
I no longer had to open and close the manual screw in valve on the
fitting that manually opens the oleo Schrader. There is a rather large
margin for error on that oleo.... so no big deal really.
Go figure.

I have the tail strut seal kit in stock. I also stock the Yak 50 MLG
actuator seal kits. Years ago, we manufactured a batch of stainless
tailwheel cylinders for the Yak 50. We haven't had any calls for them
recently, but I am open to manufacturing another batch.
Pacific Oil Cooler does a great job on oil coolers. They also have some
good info on their website: www.oilcoolers.com .
Jill please give me a contact so I can order a seal kit
thanks
Jill
