However the bearings have 30 years of grease and grime in them having never been removed enabling for proper cleaning. Looking at your photos my...

Did you try using the tool that McFarlane has for the aft roller? Was completely removing the flap required or was is something that you wanted to do for other reasons?

Thanks for the reply and advice!

Stafford Air & Space Museum at the Weatherford Airport. Plus there's a great little restaurant on Rt 66 for lunch, Lucille’s Roadhouse. Great airport to stop for fuel and visit the area. https://maps.app.goo.gl/AzKLxAcoZqrEyZFF7?g_st=ic https://maps.app.goo.gl/nKSJPD3yRxAY1nAG7?g_st=ic

So is the best way to lube the needle bearings is to remove them? Or is it possible to get the oil into them without having to remove? If you don't have to remove then what's the best way to get access?

Everyone is being distracted with talking about the panel, rather than talking about what the news article said about the pilot: 1) just purchased the plane a few weeks ago and 2) relatively newly certified pilot
