Please have a knowledgeable mechanic assist you with this repair. If done correctly, there will be no need for FAA form 337. I'm not sure why you would replace the entire wheel for a failed bearing; the bearing and race can be replaced if the wheel is not damaged. As noted above, see appendix C...

Impossible to say without a picture.

If you have any parts with the original colors, take them to your local paint supply store and they will do a great job of getting a close match.

Here is the same question from another Cessna forum that should help. I agree that the balance should be checked; don't assume it was correct before. https://forums.cessnaowner.org/discussion/2070/control-surface-balancing

It may be over pressurized with Nitrogen and under serviced with hydraulic fluid. If it is "bouncy", this would be the case and you'll need to have it properly serviced by an A&P.

Your FF gauge is fed by a FF transducer. Fill your tanks, fly a 2-3 hours and see what it says you burned compared to what it takes to refill the tanks. If it is not accurate, you'll need to adjust the K-Factor within the gauge (probably a JPI Flowscan 450). The FF transducer is not the same as...

You can purchase a kit to replace the hardware and bushings that will tighten everything up again. Also be sure tire pressure is correct.

Agree with Brute, you should have the rigging checked by a knowledgeable A&P.

I've been too busy working on aircraft or weather did not cooperate to fly since 1 June. I was planning to fly this past weekend but my 2019 purchased EarthX 680C battery was dead. I hooked up an approved charger and it didn't work. I connected an external battery and the charger started working...

Possibly not your issue but one of my customers has to keep a 1 x 2 board under his left wing to keep the fuel from flowing from right to left while on the ground.

I’ve been using an EarthX battery for about 3 years and am extremely happy with its starting power and improved hot starts. Saving about 12 lbs over my PC680 is another big bonus.

That statement means the fuel was tested and approved/compatible to use UL94. It still requires the STC to legally (FAA rules) use the fuel. If you aren't using their fuel, there is no need for the STC, obviously. The Petersen STC is the same - it was tested and approved for certain...

Sounds like your fuel valve is allowing flow between tanks when right is selected.

Do they install only parts that meet factory new spec? A good shop does. Expect to pay more for a proper OH.

I've found WD-40 works well to remove sticky residue. A little heat from a hair dryer or heat gun can also help.

There isn't an "auto fuel" STC that I am aware (auto fuel includes Ethanol). Petersen, Swift Fuels and GAMI all offer STCs. the one from Petersen, if you aircraft meets requirements, allows the use of non-Ethanol fuel (aka MOGAS). The one from the other two allow the use of their specific fuels...

Just make sure the charger puts out between 13.8 and 14.5 volts. The higher end of the voltage range will charge faster. I use a solar charger on my driveway gate battery and it works well.

The SwiftFuels 94UL fuel also requires a STC, per their website. Less expensive than the Petersen STC. https://www.swiftfuelsavgas.com/faq https://www.swiftfuelsavgas.com/stc

If your engine compression ratio is 8.0:1 or less (like most O-470s and many O-320s, you can safely run MOGAS of the appropriate octane rating. The STC (usually Petersen) will provide those details and also important facts on fuel vaporization and mitigation. My IO-360-A4M is 8.5:1 CR, so I am...
