 The view from the front reveals
more than the view from the back.
 The old tail rotor crosshead bearings
in your Huey and HueyCobra are no
exception. The front side shows more
of the ball bearings than the back side.
 If you don't know which is which
the 2 bearings can be put together bas-
ackwards. Put in that way you have
maybe an hour or less flying time before
the bearing set fails, followed by the
tail rotor.
 The bird organizational maintenance
pub tells you to put the bearings to-
gether back-to-back, see?
 As an additional guide the bearings
are etched to form a "V" when they're
back-to-back. A look at the part num-
bers will also clue you which bearing
set is being used.
 If you're lucky enough to have the
new crosshead bearing, P/N 204-011-
769-1, FSN 3110-135-0563, there's no

 sembly business.
