[rebel-builders] tail wheel split pins
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:30 pm
Hi Ben I had the split pins on my tailwheel break allowing it to castor
freely. It happened in deep snow while on skiis so maybe not a problem for
others and I haven't heard of any one else having problems. Since the pins
are captured under the top cap I just replaced them with drill rod.

DrewOn the std Rebel tailwheel, has anyone found a maintenance need to remove
the cam or swivel cap? I'm assembling mine now and just thinking it seems
once I put those pins in for the cam piece, there'd be little hope of ever
getting them out again if needed.
One idea around this would be to drill the holes for the pins all the way
through the bottom of LG18. That would at least allow me to press them out
from the other end with drill rod or something. I think no down side either?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
