2.5 PINS AND COMPOSITE BEARING REPAIR
GUIDELINES
Filament wound bearings.
1. Pinned joints should be disassembled and inspected if
the following occurs:
a. Excessive sloppiness in joints.
b. Noise originating from the joint during operation.
2. Filament wound bearings should be replaced if any of
the following is observed:
a. Frayed or separated fibers on the liner surface.
b. Cracked or damaged liner backing.
c. Bearings that have moved or spun in their housing.
d. Debris embedded in liner surface.
3. Pins should be replaced if any of the following is
observed (pin should be properly cleaned prior to
inspection):
a. Detectable wear in the bearing area.
b. Flaking, pealing, scoring, or scratches on the pin sur-
face.
c. Rusting of the pin in the bearing area.
4. Re-assembly of pinned joints using filament wound
bearings.
a. Housing should be blown out to remove all dirt and
debris. Bearings and bearing housings must be free
of all contamination.
b. Bearing/pins should be cleaned with a solvent to
remove all grease and oil. Filament wound bearing
are a dry joint and should not be lubricated unless
