I had a similar situation with a nyliner bearing that wouldn't fit in a Glasair gear installation. I put the bearing and steel tube that fit inside it in the freezer overnight and threw the AL bracket everthing was supposed to fit into in the oven at 200 degrees. Everything fit great and when everything returned to ambient temperature there was no binding. Some time ago, there was a series of posts which recommended replacement of hinge So, have any of you experienced the same problem and if so, what was your solution? Maybe I just got a piece from a bad batch, but when they advertise an ID and OD measurement to three decimal places, you have an expectation that this is what they will send to you...right? I'd much rather be at SnF than working on taxes!
