Week 11 - Flap connectors

Well the bearings are in. 

As stated in the manual they do require a lot of force to go in. The freezing of the bearings and boiling water on the connectors did help.

Not a lot of other progress was made this week as I spent Sunday up with Pete Wells doing some more training then had an operation on one of my eyes on Monday so I'm out of action for a few days.

One down, one to go.

Rigged up in the vice with wood to take the load evenly and a socket to press home the bearing.

Both done. Small plastic inserts in 4x bearings and one large collar reduced down to 15mm - one still to do.
