Yoke Bearings

[Mark Hislop]

The three small bearings that support each yoke at the panel in my 337 have lost their rubber coating. At least I think they are supposed to have a rubber coating.

In my aircraft, these bearings are part #S2010-3. Cessna is very proud of these little bearings, wanting in the neighborhood of $150 each. (That a pretty exclusive neighborhood. )

I found a place that will repair or exchange these bearings for $50 each, 1/3 the price of new. It is

Robair (www.robairrepair.com)

This guy has developed a business making and selling common Cessna parts. I used him a couple of months ago when a part of my seat broke. He had a beefier replacement, complete with PMA (or STC, I don't remember now) for 1/3 the price of the OEM Cessna part.

Hope this helps some of you.

That is very helpful, Mark.

Looking at the website for the parts, there is no indication about Skymaster 336/337. I assume some of these parts are interchangeable with the 207? Is there a search engine or anything for looking up parts? Do you just call him on the phone?

[Mark Hislop]

I don't think there is a search engine. I have found the parts there by using google, and his site shows up. I don't think he has a lot of Skymaster parts. The ones he does have I think are common to other, more numerous models.

You never know how an old post/topic might help someone. Need the control column bearings (S2010-3). A Cessna source said the best they could do is $250 a bearing, there are three on each column. Rob Air has improved bearings for $50 each.
