Regarding the plastic rollers that get installed, presumably for the wing spars to roll on when being installed;
I installed the bushings into the plastic parts and installed the rollers as directed by the plans.
My question is:
Are they supposed to rotate freely?
There's no bearing as such, just the metal bushing over the an3 bolt.
when I torque the bolt to 20 in/lb (which is the recommended torque for an AN3)
the rollers are tight and do not rotate freely.
Is this normal?
