My Dimona H36 Mk2 ser. 36267 build in 1988, equipped with Sauer S2100-1ss1 has 4550 hours on the airframe. It is three years in my ownership and i suspect that the maintenance of the main wheelbearings is urgently due. When i jack up the wheels and rotate the wheels they emit a "grinding" noise and have a lot of play. Question: can someone give me a detailed procedure for removing the axle and overhauling the wheelbearings. I removed the locking nut on the outside of the wheelfairing but did not succeed in getting the axle out of the fairing, despite carefull tapping on the extremities with a hardwooden block. I suspect that the pipes that hold the bearings in place are froozen on the central axle and prevent this axle of sliding out of the fairings;
