The rubber sleeves that go to the front plugs will trap water even after you take apart the lower section of the plug caps and drain the wires. After taking the harness apart and draining it about four times, I got tired of fooling with them and put new wires and plugs on the plane on Tuesday after SNF - took about six hours literally - "in the field". Runs great now! I'll let you know about the fix on the other plane when it happens. By the way, I think the moisture is more of a problem on the older ignition wires, even the wire insulation was moist after I pulled it out of the harness. I have'nt seen this problem on the wires Robert has been getting from Jill - he had replaced his lower wires - pulled them back through the original harness. We flew through the same rain at the same time and he did'nt have a problem.

Barry ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 09:37:16 PM PST US From: PHCarter@aol.com Subject: Yak-List: V530 repair Thank you, everyone, for the suggestions and solutions for the V530 spanner wrench. I made/modified an available wrench per several of your suggestions and it works great. The original problem was that one of the blades was frozen. I had to eventually remove the hub and disassemble on the bench to get everything unfrozen. This problem is due to insufficient propeller maintenance in the past and heavy rains this winter. Unfortunately, I have to store my Yak outside. The water damage inside the hub is minimal. The only real problem is with one of the retainer nuts. Very little rush, but the phenolic bushing appears to have swollen and is interfering with the blade. This prevents blade pitch motion. I have cleaned everything and removed crust from old grease and rubbing phenolic, but the fit is still too tight for normal / easy blade motion. How is this repaired? Do I replace the phenolic bushing and V-seal within the retainer nut, or replace the whole retainer nut assembly? Is this a hub overhaul case? My propeller blades are still in reasonable shape, so I don't need a complete overhaul. I have been careful about marking the alignments during disassembly and am sure I can reassemble, but I am starting to think a balancing will be required if I replace many parts. Would appreciate any insights. My original mechanic in the San Francisco Area has moved. Does anyone have a suggestion for another mechanic in this area? Preston Carter Yak-52, N6209F
