I replaced the rollers, etc. at my spring 2010 annual. What a pain in the butt :evil: , but one that has to be done occasionally. Its a two person job at a minimum. We put thin foam rubber inside the flaps to prevent a dropped nut or washer from becoming a major effort to remove (and maybe having t...

fuel smell in mine was a leaky fuel selector. Never much fuel smell, only when I would first open the door. All soft lines were replaced in 2000, but the fuel selector gasket as far as I could tell was the original.

That was fun to fix.

Aerodynamic Aviation at RHV in San Jose California lists a rental '52 170B on their website along with numerous other tailwheel machines. I did a BFR in this one a couple years ago.

I pred...

Ever since I first had to do maintenance on my fuel valve, I've had this picture in my mind of the very beginning of the Cessna 170 assembly line being a fuel valve hanging by a thread from the ceiling, then the airplane being build around it. :roll: Miles Ford had the same sort of procedure... sta...

I did this last annual, and found it pretty frustrating trying to get the dropped hardware out of the trailing edge of the flap.My magnet-on-a-telescoping-stick thingy couldnt get far enough into the trailing edge to fish out the dropped washers. After a while I found the easy way to recover the dro...
