Status: offline 		Is there anyway to remove CA from a nylon tailwheel bearing? I was installing the rudder and tailwheel into a Pulse XT 40. The epoxy part went fine no glue got into the nylon bearing that is glued into the tail. However when I went to CA the rudder hinges, a little CA ran into the nylon bearing that holds the tailwheel. I should have used vaseline to prevent this. I can move the rudder back and forth but it is still a little sticky. I tried a few drops of oil to the tailwheel bearing and this helped a little. Is there anything else I can do? Would CA debonder work?

Status: offline 		Hi!
I have answered this many times. But here we go again.
There is no better thing to use than pure nitro for loosen Ca glue. Debonder is just a waste of money and aceton takes tooooo long .
Simple as that!
All modelers should have some nitro at home!

Status: offline 		Thanks for all of the suggestions. I tried acetone, and CA debonder. I did not have any pure nitro to try. Both helped a lot. I also tried a little light oil. The rudder still slightly binds but there is not much resistance once it starts to move a little. I can't remove the tail wheel wire from the nylon joint to drill it out because of the way the tail wheel unit is made.  I think I will just fly it the way it is for now.
