Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:55 am Post subject: Yak 55M Aileron Bearings

During preflight I noticed the outboard aileron on my Yak55M wiggled

fore/aft.  I check it regularly, so this is something new.  The left

aileron is solid.  The aileron bracket to the wing is tight, so the

movement is within the aileron hinge or bearing.  



Is this something that common with the Yaks?  I remember seeing an

email about that before, but searching the archives, I couldn't find.  



Thanks,

John

John,

If you can't find them, Rob Kent has them as does Doug Sapp and Gill Hayes.

Attention to all the exposed bearings in the Yak is very important.  That 

is, they should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.  On the 52, the inboard 

aileron bearing is always the most difficult to clean and lubricate.  But it 

must be done regularly.  Bearings that are exposed to the elements, like the 

outboard aileron bearing you mentioned are particularly prone to picking up 

grit and grime.  This of course destroys the bearings.  I'm not sure about 

the 55M outboard aileron bearing, but the outboard aileron bearing on the 52 

is unique and expensive compared to the very common 19mm OD x 6 mm (ID) x 6 

mm (W) self aligning bearings.

I have had to replace my bearings.  They developed play - can test it on the

tips, by holding the aileron top and bottom at the leading edge and trying

to move it up and down.



Are there any aftermarket / western replacements for the originals?

Yep, found some play in my 55M aileron. I changed out my bushings 10 years ago but at 500hrs the play has resurfaced. Anyone have the press in bushings for the Yak 55M aileron hinge?



Thanks.
