Determine if each up-lock roller is of the greasible type (one having a drilled and grooved inner race). 2. Replace any non-greasible up-lock roller (one having a solid inner race) with the greasible type. 3. Install hollow zerk-ended mounting bolts on the up-lock rollers. 4. Lubricate the up-lock mechanism. Note: FAA 2007-08-08 Amendment 39-15025 dated 06 April 2007 refers. FAA AD 2007-08-08 supersedes FAA AD 72-22-01 Amendment 39-1544. Compliance: 1. Unless already accomplished, within 100 hours time in service (TIS) after the effective date of this AD. 2. Before further flight, after the determination required by Requirement 1 of this AD. 3. Unless already accomplished, within 100 hours TIS after the effective date of this AD. 4. Unless already accomplished, initially within 100 plus/minus 10 hours TIS, and repetitively thereafter, at intervals not to exceed 100 plus/minus 10 hours TIS. This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 7 June 2007. Background: This AD results from a recent incident involving a Beechcraft Model 95-B55B (T-42A) airplane where a seizure of the uplock rollers occurred. The Requirements of this AD are aimed at decreasing the possibility of gear-up landings caused by seizure of the up-lock rollers.
