What does everyone do about their felt grease seals? Do you just replace the old ones (if they are still on the wheel) or are there replacement seals? I have a rear seal that is falling apart and is basically useless and am missing a front seal. Thanks Rich

Doug has all the felt seals for the CJ. Very reasonably priced.

I replaced mine. I got them from Jill at m14p.com. I also almost decided to
set my plane on fire out of frustration in trying to get them on the wheel
and then the wheel on the plane without twisting or crimping the seal. What
I failed to realize is that just looking at the seals will cause them to
stretch so that they are too big for the slot they go in, and then you are
screwed. Perhaps someone else knows a neat trick, but I just had to keep
trying until I got them in. They were also tight as hell at first and I
really had to overtighten the bearings to keep the inner seal plate from
turning when the wheel would roll. After a few flights I could readjust the
bearings and everything was fine. Even now the seal seem to have settled
into position.
I would DEFINITELY replace the seals though. Mine were missing after the
importation and wheel bearing grease was getting past where the seal was
supposed to be and onto the brake pads and drum. You can only imagine how
poor the brakes were.
My 2 cents.

Oh and mine were on a Yak 52. Not sure how different that makes it.

I have the left overs of an old felt cover for a pool table. You could
cut out circular patterns and lube them for use on your CJ. That would
be option one OR you could pay Doug the 18 cents (estimated) to get the
real thing.
Respectfully,
Jon Blake

No difference whatsoever Peter. Drums are interchangeable between the 52
and CJ6. Doug has them in stock.
