YAK 130

Main Wheels and Brakes
NOTE: The Tires on the Yak 130 are not inflatable.
NOTE: Periodic preventative maintenance of all landing gear systems is the modelers
challenge to keep things from coming loose.
NOTE: The wheels should be removed so that
the axles and bushings can receive lubrication.
There are (2) set screws on the back side of
the main gears lower strut. Use a 2mm Hex
head wrench to first tighten the screws to
mark the steel axles, then back out the
screws a few turns to allow the wheel axle
to be removed.
Tap the axle such that the cap cover pops
loose.
Where you see the set screw marks on the
axle, use a Dremel fiber cutting disc to
make 1/4” wide flat spots on the axle
centered on the screw point marks. A
vertical mark on the end of the axle helps
align the flat spots with the set screws on
re-assembly.
