Where can we get a good price on that 154-13000 seal? They are over $50 each everywhere I looked. Has anyone found a NAPA or other non-aircraft part number that we EXPERIMENTAL type can use?

Vic Syracuse did a good job on care and feeding of tires and brakes in the Feb 2021 issue, but please allow me to add my top tips. Change tires and tubes in a clean area of your hangar, so grit and metal chips won�t get trapped between tire carcass and tube. Baby powder contains oils that will attack your tubes, Brown Aircraft EC880 silicone powder is a better choice. Reinstall valve cap right after inflating, so grit doesn�t get into valve causing leaks. New molded seals 154-13000 are superior to oiled felt washers used on common 5� wheels in keeping grit out of bearings. Upgrade Nitrile caliper piston O-rings to Viton or Fluorosilicone for high temperature resistance to compression set. Modern wheel weights are no longer Lead, they are Steel or Zinc and a lot more are needed to balance. MIL-H-5606 fluid has been superseded by fully compatible far less flammable MIL-PRF-87257 fluid. Mobil SHC100 is the Parker Hannifin preferred bearing grease. Use high temperature ceramic grease on anchor pins going into torque plate.
