It was not concerned any legal issues or FAA rules.
You should be.

I worked with avionics manufacturers and in the avionics repair shops so I can and do repair all avionics on my cessna 182 airplane myself. I can fix any avionics on my plane. I have service manuals, toos, test panels and special test equipment. I never worked on instruments though that is why I asked the question about the instrument. I do some minor repairs on the instruments though too e. g. I change the bulbes in the instruments, replace instrumets filters etc. And no one will ever convince me that I cannot do this. Yes, I can! If you can not do this kind of job you MUST send your avionics and instruments to the repair shops. I am sorry for you that none of you cannot do this kind of work. For now I am just wasting my time explaning the things to people wo have no idea of what I am talking about
You work with repair stations, but come to pprune to ask a question such as this? Red flag, anybody?

You've never worked on instruments, but you do minor repairs on them.

You can repair avionics yourself? Really? You didn't bother to cite that you're an avionics technician. You would have, were that really the case. You're not. And no, you can't.

You've stipulated in other posts elsewhere that you're a mechanic, but from your posts here, clearly you're not.

You're making things up, and you're not telling us the truth. You're correct that time is being wasted here, but it's time spent listening to you.

You think that because you "work with" a repair station (you don't...else you wouldn't have asked the question...and it's not your 182, remember...it's your buddy's 150), that you can do the work youself?

SNS3guppy, So, according to your logic I cannot be a mechanic because I posted the question on the forum, I cannot be a avionics technician because I did not tell you about that , I cannot own my own Cessna 182 because my buddy is already owning a Cessna 150 and since I can be none of the mentioned above I have made the whole story up. Wow! It is just amazing!!!
Are you still looking for a job in the Middle East? That place could be right for you and your bright logic I think.
Cheers
and thank you for making me laugh

airflorida.1:
Aren't you in the least concerned that someone from the FAA might be reading these posts?

I said none of those things. Put words in your own mouth, not mine.

However, as you've brought it up, you're certainly not much of a mechanic, and I don't believe you're a mechanic at all. One who works in a repair station(s) and fixes his own avionics, who has repair manuals and test equipment, but doesn't understand a simple corrosion issue, or the illegality or troubles caused by opening an instrument...is what we like to call a pretender. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, defend your ignorance, pretend you're what you are not (don't forget you're talking to a forum filled with engineers, technicians, and mechanics), and ramble on with qualifications you don't have.

Most certainly you can own a 182. You've no more business working on it than you have working on your friend's instruments, however. I'd really love to introduce you to associates with the FAA in your area, for a discussion about your activities. I suspect that would shut you up in a hurry.

I doubt you made the story up. You sound foolish enough to approve of opening the instruments in your buddy's 150...you probably encouraged him or helped him to do it. More's the pity.

Are you still looking for a job in the Middle East? That place could be right for you and your bright logic I think.
I'm there right now, mate. But then, what would you know about the middle east??

I woke up to a rocket attack at three this morning, and went to the flightline to check aircraft. What were you doing at three in the morning?

Care to have a chat with the folks at your local FSDO? I can arrange that.

The fact that you don't know what the "white powder-like stuff" is kind of goes to show your knowledge of aircraft maintanence. Your fairly fixated on cleaning the intrument. What if any corrosion found on the intrument requires a replacement part. I'd imagine that it's a finely engineered instrument hence the corrosion, and the wear from somebody given it a scrub up might effect it's operation.

I'd suggest haven a read through this, www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/cap715.pdf

Sorry, no. Somewhat southeast of there.

Not to worry. airflorida1 has recently come clean and admitted he isn't really a mechanic, after all. This is, of course, after his first post on this site was made announcing that he is a mechanic. He's still working on getting his story straight...though I think that most practicing professionals here can see the truth for themselves.

I am not an A&P mechanic

I've got a new'ish' one he can have, I found it by a lake-im sure it will be fine mate, I tried opening it with a screwdriver but the screw heads were ruined so I just drilled it open, there is no corrosion on it just some leaves and stuff .
