sandman Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think it is a spherical bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 The rod end I think is what I'm after, and where can I buy them from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Can you give us a photo of the parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Most bearing / bolt retailers should stock them, just take the old one in. They are right hand threads on both ends, and measures the total distance of the setup before you remove them. Also don't mention that they are off a aircraft ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Pull it off. Clean off the rust and look for ID markings on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 It looks like a Heim rod end to me. Have a look at the Aircraft Spruce catalogue, which is available on line. Under airframe parts it will show heim and a page of dimensions with part numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks Mick, how’s the 582 going, it was all good inside no dramas. Was it just a leaky seal on the PTO end, just curious I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
