Overview

Features

• An essential part of your landing gear maintenance checklist is the need for periodic lubrication of hard-to-get-at door hinge bushings. Achieving proper lubrication is challenging because access is difficult. If these bushings are not lubricated regularly, corrosion will result. This can cause the bushing and sleeve to fuse together over time, resulting in problems with the door rigging and the operation of the aircraft. This could lead to an inoperable gear door or the cracking of the gear door - a safety issue for sure and at best, an expensive repair. Our kit is insurance against the possibility of future problems.
• The solution to this problem is AeroTough™ GF polymer bushings. These non-metallic bushings can be easily installed and will provide smooth grease-free operation. AeroTough™ bushings will never require lubrication. The polymer material is designed to incorporate its own lubrication. If someone doesn’t know our bushings have been fitted and decides to squirt some lubrication into the hinges, it’s no problem. Our bushings are quite happy to run in oil or grease – it’s just not necessary!

In The Box

• 8 pre-packaged door hinge assemblies for direct replacement of OEM parts at each hinge location (see diagram below). In addition, 2 shorter AN3-10A bolts are included in the kit to replace the 2 longer AN3-15A bolts in door configurations where the inboard forward door hinge fittings on the port and starboard sides of the aircraft are shorter. When the installation is complete, discard the 2 leftover bolts.
