Overhauling Cessna 182 Nose Strut: PART 1

[@jj_the_av8r]

Awesome project dude. I completely understand you as a mechanic that can’t make any money 😂😂 curious what paint and primer you used?

[@112_adventures]

The struggle is real. Labor of love goes a lot further than labor for others. The primer I used here was SEM self etching gray and the paint was OMNI MTK acrylic urethane (spray max 2k “rattle” can)

THe shims. My 182P has about .010 of slop. What was yours like?. I'm think of looking at that as I've done everything else for a mild shimmy yet. And your collar needle bearings, slop there? Any grease still in it? I don't know why they wouldn't have put a zerk fitting there.

I had some play as well, not sure how much but I shimmed it tighter. There wasn’t much left for grease in it. I agree on the zirc fitting. I show more in the next video
