For those interested:
I noticed that the screws holding the aileron bearings in place would not sit flat against
the flange. This actually deformed the ball bearing case when tightened in place in the
rear aileron bracket, causing an abnormal friction when rotating the bearing and giving
the impression that it was damaged. By removing the bearing, the deformity was eliminated
and the bearing was back to proper functioning. To resolve the problem, I Dremel-grinded
AN960-416 washers to fit in place and level the screw heads against the bearing flanges.
I did the same with the bearings of the aileron torque tubes in the wing roots and all
rotate smoothly now.
