The supplied tailwheel on A-265 not only had poor quality bearings but it did
not
run
true by 1/4 inch and was way out of balance.
I held it in my lathe and spun it and went after it with my 3 inch air disk
sander
with 50 grit,and got it to run and balance pretty good.
As far as the bearings, Aircraft Spruce sells long life sealed replacement
bearings
with a snap ring around the bearings. I don't see the part number online but it
is in
the catalogue. If someone needs the part number I can check at the hangar.
Wicks may sell the bearings??
