Posted: Tue May 31, 2016 6:13 am Post subject: Yak 52 wheels

I have a question. Does the outside of the wheel, Part facing away from hub come off. I need to access the nuts to remove the brake drum from the wheel. There are some clips on outside of hubcap side of wheel. Or do rivets have to be drilled out to access from that side

 Thanks

I agree with Doc.   

  

Also;  

  

·       Take a look at the banjo fitting at the compressor. It does gum up with cooked oil. Take it apart and clean it. Can be done without removing the compressor.  

·       Check the air intake filter is clean (not likely to cause the problem you describe)    

·       Check the valve at the snot collector below the air receiver that it is properly closed.   

·       There is a check valve in the line that gums up too. Take it apart and clean it.   

·       Check that the over pressure relief valve is closing properly. It can get gummed up and not seat properly. It's under the cockpit floor accessible through a covered opening in the fuselage.  

  

Do your Yak 55M have a compressor unloader fitted? If not, the system gums up faster as the compressor is pumping all the time and the pressure relief valve is popping all the time.

Hi;

  

 Since the subject is Yak 52 wheels which are identical to the CJ I can  respond.   If it is the Yak 55 I have no idea.

  

 The “rivets” you refer to are not rivets.   They are hardened  steel drive pins which cannot be drilled out and are not intended to be  removed.

  

 Simply remove the lock pin and the bearing nut as you would for a routine  clean and re-grease operation.

I'll chime in with a question of my own, re: CJ6 wheels... I've not yet had my wheels apart, tho I'm sure it would be helpful for a cleaning.

What size socket is needed for this large wheel nut? Any special tools required (Doug S), ie-  breaker bar, bearing puller, etc?

Wish I could watch or assist someone doing theirs before I ever try my own... videos out there?

Thanks all-
