 Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2013 4:11 pm Post subject: Tailwheel Bearing - Separating Bronze Bearing... |
 |
|
Dear Listers,
Well, I disassembled the tailwheel on the RV-6 and RV-8 this weekend and took the wad of parts including the steel spring, bearing knuckles, forks and little hub caps to the local powdercoaters.
But they won't accept the bearing knuckle because it has a bronze or brass sleeve! They claim it will leak oil and make a mess in the oven. They expect me to somehow get that sleeve out of the steel part! That seems crazy? Is that even possible? Surely it won't just come out with a gentle knocking, will it?
Help...
Thanks!
