[C320-list] Cutlass Bearing

[Allan S Field]

Michael - We changed out a bearing on an older model C320 several years ago
and it did have set screws.  There is no problem with the rudder in changing
the bearing as the shaft is not moved.  You take the prop off, push the
bearing out from forward to aft, push the new one in from aft to forward,
and replace the prop.  If you are an Association member, the prop puller and
cutlass bearing removal tool are available for loan (although they are out
on loan in WA state currently).

Can anyone tell me if the older models have set screws on the strut for
cutlass bearing replacement. And I believe I head the replacement will clear
the rudder. Also, did you use a replacement for from Catalina or will
another one work?
Thanks
