I noticed the the inside of the hubs don't have and relief cuts in them to allow a drift to sit nicely up against the back of the race. There's a trick on the web which involves running a bead of weld round face of the race which once cooled contracts and it will simply fall out. (Not sure about trying it though). The inner main wheel bearings simply pulled of the axles so no issues there.

Further to your question earlier on in the year about a suitable licenced engineer, we ended up taking JSA to North Weald Flying Services. In theory, it should be ready by Friday so a three week turnround. Their Chief Engineer put a couple of Changs on the UK reg many years ago so he's familiar. -------- CJ and Yak-52 owner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469324#469324 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:58:08 AM PST US From: doug sapp Subject: Re: Yak-List: CJ6 Wheel bearing removal Harv, Actually running a pair of 1 inch beads on the race works very well. I have done it many times. I do not know of any other way to get the job done.

Jay-Dub, thanks for that lead and hope to see you flying soon. I've found a way forwards and hope to be flying in June. Doug, thanks for confirmation on the welding trick, that's how I will proceed.

Nothing fancy, std in any paintball store. Also the bottle and hose. There are different brands and models, but any will do. Check the thread if you are using our own bottle. Here in Europe 300bar bottles have M18x1.5mm thread, also the regulators. 200bar is different and in the US I assume they use non metric. Bigger bottles and the Yak air adapter are specials parts. I use a 6.8l composite (only 3.6kg) and a std 200bar steel scuba bottle, but the steel bottles are too heavy. Only advantage: they are cheap. The regulator not only saves weight and space compared to a scuba valve, it fits perfectly to the light hose and 750psi for the Yak. Even the 6.8l bottle with hose and all parts fit into a bag.
