Has anyone changed out the aileron bearings on an older -4? I need to change the bearings for the right aileron - I get a fair bit of lateral movement that should not be there and I can see the bearings slipping back and forth. I removed the aileron and the loose bearings will only go so far but will not push out.
Vans suggested pressing them out using sockets (with a C clamp I suppose). I read on the forum that the aileron bearings on a -6 are a "captured" type - would have to drill out the rivets of the bracket.
I don't want to start forcing these bearings out without some confirmation from someone who has already been there. This is a 1987 -4.
