I was lifting my wing tip to change a tire and noticed I had some play in the strut where it attaches to the wing. I confirmed the movement by touching it while a friend moved the wing up and down. I installed tight tolerance shear bolts 20 hours ago. The aluminum bushing appears to have loosened. I left the bolt and nut super loose, the washers can move freely, so I know I didn't damage it by overtightening
Do I just pull the strut off, and re-flox the bush, or does the attach need filled and re drilled? Manual doesn't appear to have any instructions. Only instructions I can find is for the root attachments.
Hello
The process is the same as the wing root lugs, except the tap needed is 7/8UNC. See section 5.23.1.6 in the Aircraft Tech manual JTM001. https://jabiru.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/JTM001-10.pdf
Be sure to check if it is the strut or the bush in the wing that is worn, when you take the strut off.
