Interior screws - C172G
wrote in message oups.com... There are elevator and rudder cables and pulleys under the entire length of the 172's floor. If you don't yank the rear seat, you can't get the carpet up and take the inspection panels off. Every time we get another second-hand 172 we find the pulleys under there seized, cables worn, an incredible amount of junk including mouse nests and droppings (corrosive), dirt, oil, small stones (tracked in by people), rags and lost hardware (risk of cable/pulley fouling), and so on. Sometimes even tools. ..... There's no substitute for taking the time to do it right. We do it, it takes a couple hours longer, but we seldom have any snags in between inspections. And we're always surprised, even though we shouldn't be, at how easily all the controls move after we've cleaned everything, freed up all the pulleys and bellcranks, and set all the cable tensions to spec. Dan Nice write up! Thanks! Dan D. |
