I need to replace an airbrake bearing in my early Std Libelle 201

Any recommendations for somebody who can tackle this job would be
appreciated.

Are you talking about the gear box at the root that can get tight over
time?

No. This is an early Std Libelle with upper and lower surface airbrakes.
The top surface bearing nearest the root got corroded when the wing cover
on that wing leaked. The rest seem fine.
