Hi all,
New member here; first post.
Bought a J3 Cub with a partner two months ago and we have slippage in the trim system. We suspect the pulley at the cockpit trim handle is what's slipping and likely needs replacing. I've read online where the pulley can get rounded out from its original V shape and, thus, allow the cable to slip. I've also read about being sure the tension is "proper." What is the proper tension and how can I test it?
Regarding the pulley, how is it changed? We can't see an obvious way to remove it. Below are two pictures. Would appreciate any insight or help!
