Cheers Danny G-ceri ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:46:44 AM PST US From: "Remi Guerner" Subject: Europa-List: wheel removal <<<<<<<<<< remove the wheels on my tri gear to grease them for the annual. >>>>>>> Danny, I suppose you want to grease the ball bearings, right? My question is: why is it recommanded by most aircraft manufacturers to grease wheel ball bearings every year, which for a typical 100 hours/100 take-offs/100 landings represents only about 200 rolling kilometers (125 miles) while I can drive my car 1000 times more than that distance without ever having to service the bearings ?
