RobertGary1 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Anyone know what’s up with the shortage? Spruce tells me about a month wait. I ordered some from chief last week and they haven’t even come up with a ship date. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT20J Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't know but the only thing I ever used it for was wheel bearings. Mooney and Cleveland now recommend SHC 100. You might try that but if you switch you need to clean out all the old grease. I've standardized on the following greases (per the service manual): Wheel bearings: Mobil SHC 100 Trim system Aeroshell 7 Control guide blocks Aeroshell 7 Landing gear zerks Aeroshell 22 Landing gear and flap actuator ball screws Lubriplate 630-AA Skip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice to keep it simple is Mobil for everything on the gear now that Mobil is approved for the wheels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver LFA Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 @RobertGary1 Aircraft Spruce East is showing Tuesday, June 2nd for availability now. In my past experience with Chief, the price is usually quite low compared to others but they do not stock the items so it's always a wait to get the part.

I bet they need business these days with COVID19 and this economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertGary1 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 And Chief is charging sales tax in California now too. (Chief got the Aeroshell 5 to me, even though they never told me it had shipped). -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
