Well, it looks like the brake on my T2X has finally thrown in the towel.
I have ordered a repair kit from Champion. However, my main concern is
getting the rotor out with the minimum amount of surgery.
My tower is an LM-470 and I can do all the work at ladder level. The
rotor is mounted on a rotor mounting plate a few feet below the top of
the tower. As I see it, my only option is to either loosen the set
screws on the thrust bearing or unbolt the bearing from its mounting
plate and pull the mast out just far enough to allow me to pass the
unbolted rotor out the first clear opening in the tower framework. Are
there any other options? (I have a terrible habit of missing the obvious.)
Also, does anyone have any pointers for replacing the brake?
73 and Tnx for your help.
Joe
