The crew of Oceanaire | Wik & Rox performs a DIY rebuild of a Z-SPARS in-mast furling mechanism while docked in Sicily.0:26 After the original unit seized due to failed bearings and excessive play, the owners sourced replacement bearings, castings, and a center rod directly from Z-SPARS in the UK.1:55 The repair process requires filing sharp edges off the new castings to allow the center rods to seat properly.22:35 Because the unit utilizes open ball bearings, the crew uses multi-purpose grease to hold the bearings in place during assembly to prevent them from falling out.25:17 The owner also applies zinc spray to the refurbished castings to prevent corrosion.19:29 Additionally, the crew splices new 12mm Gleissstein Mega Twin Dyneema halyards, using a method that retains the cover for a finished look.5:18 The furling mechanism shows no play after reassembly.26:20
