They feature permanent magnet motors unmatched value, reliable performance, high-torque, a ten pound weight savings over stock starters and twice the spin of old, heavyweight OEM starters resulting in faster and easier engine starts - especially improving hot engine start performance. These are our most popular starter models (Models PM & LS). But I do manage to average about every other change.The product synonymous with the Sky-Tec name, The Original Flyweight™ provides unmatched value in Lycomingoming replacement starters. I confess that I, too, don't always do it at every oil change. Mostly it's just a practice-makes-perfect thing. You'd think I'd just take note of the orientation when I pull the old one off, but I seem to forget that, too. Some of that is because I can never remember which side of the crush washer is supposed to go against the pan vs. These days, pulling the screen adds probably about 20 minutes total time to an oil change. Reassembly is just the reverse of disassembly, no additional tools. About the only thing that helps is a 10-year old with small hands, and I've used that method at least once. I have some ratcheting closed-end wrenches and have tried to use them in the past, but they don't really help - the bolt is too loose for the ratchet to catch. I haven't changed this technique in a number of years. It hurts, and I cuss a lot, and every once in a while the bolt catches just enough that I have to pull out my hands and go back in with the wrench for 1/4 turn. fingers, as I describe below.Īfter the bolt is loose comes the worst part - jamming both hands in and around the footwell, where I can just reach enough of the bolt with one finger on each hand to rotate it. On our airplane, it only takes a total of 1/2 to 1 turns to break torque, then the bolt can be turned by hand. The slight angle on the closed-end side of the wrench is just right to slip the wrench over the bolt head and get good purchase.
Once the safety wire is off, I just use a conventional, combination hand wrench to loosen the bolt.
These items make it much easier to cut and pull the safety wire on removal, and to get the safety wire started on reassembly. I have a similar long-reach diagonal cutter. I haven't found anything that makes it "easy", but I've done it enough times that I no longer necessarily dread it.įirst order of business is a set of long reach pliers, e.g.
