Subject: | Re: Replacing Bearings in a Stratus PSRU |
This is a great community of builders. Gary, (gkrysztopik) heard of my plight
with the PSRU bearings, but didn't realize 'falcon' hangered the Zenith just two
hangers down from his.
I stopped by his hanger this afternoon, and described my situation -- interesting,
he noted, he'd read about someone else with the same problem on the Matronics
list. 'Falcon', I asked?
Yes!
That's me.
Gary loaned me his PSRU eccentric adjustment wrenches and spreader bolts. And
I'm happy to say I've pretty much broken the redrive down into its constituent
components.
The new bearings are in the freezer, and the sprocket goes in the oven sometime
next week, as I find the time to swap the old for the new.
The wobbling prop hub was indeed caused by a failing front bearing. Check your
belts. I suspect mine was wound a little tight.
Thanks to Gary and to Larry MacFarland for keeping us very, very happy with our
Stratus conversion.
