      After watching GPA on YouTube about not using LPS on control bearings and the use of liquid silicon, “Guilty” now how should I clean the bearings before I use the liquid silicon that Rosco recommends.Do I need to clean the bearings before I use liquid or can I just start using the recommended and correct way to maintain the bearings??

      Dennis,

      You wil have to get with your mechanic and remove the flaps and ailerons from the plane to clean all the old lube out, then reinstall. Video on that coming in the next few days, i.e. Hell Hole Work.

      Cheers

      Roscoe
