| Subject: | Re: Yak-50 MLG handle / valve |
After some experimenting using a mix of alcohol and Glycerine which will be
come a very hard =93Stearin=94 when exposed for aluminum we have started us
ing Corrosion X with good result. Corrosion X has very good lubrication cap
abilities, will not affect rubber gaskets and seals and is very anti corros
ion.
We use it in both tanks during annual and spray some fluid into the adapter
hose if we need to top up the tanks from a scuba bottle.
When overhauling the actuators and uplocks we use Corrosion X grease for in
ternal lubrication and as a corrosion inhibitor.
This seems to work very well.

Stratyaks, why do you say that? Curious to know what the concern is on putt
ing a non-silicone-based oil into the system is (e.g. what do you think wil
l happen if a mineral oil is used?) I ask because since the system is compr
essing and using ambient air, it's likely got all kinds of moisture in it a
nyway (and whatever else) to begin with... so it's not exactly clean.

Any tutorials or guidance on the disassembly of the landing gear actuators on my
CJ? Got the end caps off bit it appears the shaft is locked, I assume by a down
lock mechanism utilizing the ball-bearings. Do I have to pressurize the up
line to release it? Rebuild kits?
Thanks in advance,
