Trim Actuator

Post by Andre_C »

Would anyone be able to recommend a shop to repair and overhaul my trim actuator?
While doing my preflight this afternoon, I noticed the rod has a crack where it meets the end.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Dre.

I'm posting this for your info not for any negative feed back. Check Ebay/Cessna parts. There are usually some listed for sale. Far cheaper than buying new parts. The bearing can be purchased at a bearing supply store. Just say'in!

Don't overlook the probability that the crack can be dressed and welded inexpensively and locally.
