| Subject: | control surface bearing lubricant and general re-assembly |
What lubricant/grease should be used to lubricate the little bearings on the ailerons,
rudder... I think on the elevator also.
I almost finished with my paint-job. It looks fantastic. Now I am re-assembling.
I just saw on a Zodiac site that there is a re-assembly checklist for the 601.
Is there such a list for the 701.
Is there a drawing or list of instructions/dimensions for validating the wings
after re-installation. All I see in the drawings is that a string stretched from
wing-tip to wing-tip should have a certain offset from the top of the wing
at the first line of rivets. Is there more.
Thanks for all your help.

Earnest,
There are two options for this. One is to use a general lubricant, such as motor
oil. The other is to replace the bearing material with an oil impregnated
bronze bearing. The bearings on the surfaces you mention is 1/4 OD and 3/16 ID.
I think you can find this material at places like McMaster-Carr.
One of the contributors on this forum has said the he got approval from Zenith
to substitute this bearing material for the supplied bearing material.
Please post pictures of your airplane after the re-assembly.
Good luck and do not archive my posts.

Lubricant I've been using is CRC Tac-II which is a spray on compound where the
propellant carries the lubricant into the bearing before evaporating off. The
mechanics used a similar product Wurth2000 on Cessna aileron hinges, that traditionally
were lubricated with graphite - not the best combination with aluminium
parts I'd have thought
