| Subject: | Allegro 2000 - Front Gear Wheel Bearing Replacement |
Gentlemen,
I found that I needed to replace the two wheel bearings in the front
landing gear wheel of my Allegro 2000. The ball bearings were running
rough. The rim is a split rim so I removed the six bolts and the tire
itself. I am working with the half of the rim containing the two
bearings. I tried to press out the bearings but they would not budge.
That may have been a mistake. Now I am not sure how to removed the
bearings. Attached is my cross section sketch of what I think is the
bearing housing. There may be a bearing seat behind each bearing that
fixes the position of each bearing. If so, you can=99t visually
see it. I also don=99t know why there is a loose sleeve for the
axel between the two bearings? Has anyone ever had to remove or replace
the front wheel bearings on an Allegro 2000? If so, how is it done?
Also, is the wheel itself cast aluminum or steel?
