jonhop Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 (edited) Hi gang, I'm requesting your expertise here in sourcing a part. I bent my door hold and I might need a replacement. If my research is correct, it is part 310118-503 HOLD OPEN ARM. A quick search at LASAR didn't show anything in stock, so I thought I'd try here and give them a call later. Any insight is much appreciated. Edited January 6 by jonhop Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted January 6 Report Posted January 6 I would just straighten that one. And keep it lubed so it doesn’t happen again. 3 Quote

I had just put lubricant on and was going to cycle the door a few times to spread it. Edited January 7 by jonhop Quote

Missed it by that much.... Mine actually did that once. I was able to straighten it in place. It has been fine ever since. Quote
00-Negative Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 Careful buying used even from a reputable seller like BAS. That unique barrel-shaped bearing may be missing. I just did this a few weeks ago. Removed mine and installed a light weight strut which I read about on earlier threads. -David Quote

PT20J Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 57 minutes ago, Thedude said: Which triflow should be used? According to the M20J Service Manual, the proper lubricant for the hold open arm is MIL-L-3545 grease which is Aeroshell 5. 1 1 Quote
