Mike, Go to our YouTube page "Cozygirrrl" for video instructions on how to make your own composite bearing housings for sealed ball bearing, part number for bearing is also listed, they are EZ to make and just as good as machined ones, but cheaper! ...Chrissi On 5/3/2023 9:47 PM, DON JONES via

Re: Looking for help
Sean James
Just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions. Did surgery yesterday by splicing a new line at the hellhole and taping it to the leg. Flew home this morning without any problems.
Bleeding the brakes from the top is a PITA. Finally had to come up with a creative way to bleed from the bottom (small oil can rubber tubing).
I do want to mention Galaxy FBO at Conroe (CXO), they were unbelievably helpful. Crew car, Offer of tools, kept bringing me water and put my plane in a hanger for 3 days and allowed me to do the repairs in the hanger (no charge).
They have major jet traffic and treated me as if I flew a G5.
A Black Walnut restaurant is on the third floor of the FBO building so a great place to go for a quick meal.

The first chance you get replace all of those 8th inch nylon lines with braided braided Teflon all the way to the masters. Those nylon lines are just a gigantic pain but sooner or later

Re: Looking for help
Grab a 60” braided line from Summit racing. Run that line along the trailing edge duct tape it on. Run it into the fuse and make your splice. The tough part will be getting the pieces to splice into the plastic line you have.

It’s a temp fix but it should get you home. Worst case grab a couple make make unions and get enough braided line to run all the way to the master. On Monday, June 20, 2022, 11:04 AM, Sean James <sjames656ez@...> wrote:

Re: Looking for help
I would go 'Quick Fix', like others have said. Get a roll of the nylon style, disconnect at master cylinder, run to rear, down gear leg external, and hook into brake cylinder. Pump fluid in from brake cylinder to fill and 'auto bleed'.

Re: Looking for help
Bob Holliston
On both my Long EZ's when I installed the nylo brake lines I installed fittings just before they go down the gear legs. Inside the legs I stacked soda straws and glassed those in. The nylo goes inside those so I can easily replace those lines. If the builder didn't do that you'll probably have to cut into the gear leg to investigate. Check the area before the lines disappear into the legs carefully with a light and a mirror. You might get lucky and find the leak in that area. In any event it won't be a "quick fix". Sorry.

Re: Looking for help
Sean James
I did not build the aircraft. The master cylinders are in the front. I am pretty sure it is the brake line, I refilled the master cylinder and pumped the brakes, the fluid leaks where the main landing gear joins the fuselage. I pulled the cowl and checked the hellhole for fluid. There was none so it looks like the line has broken after it enters the gear leg. I don’t have any experience with the brake lines and was looking for help on doing a repair (even a quick fix). On Jun 18, 2022, at 6:26 PM, John Lambert <varieze@...> wrote:

Re: Looking for help
Mark Shinnick
Sean, Maybe the fastest is to run a new temp line from the master through the interior and out the back and taped alongside the outside gear leg. After some rough measuring and doing the nylaflow fittings in air conditioned comfort shouldn't take very much to make the connections, fill and test and go.
