Well... I'm not an A&P to be honest but...
FAR Part 43.3 Paragraph D says:
"A person working under the supervision of a holder of a mechanic or repairman certificate may perform the maintenance, preventitive maintenance and alterations that his supervisor is authorized to perform, if the supervisor personally observes the work done to the extent necessary to ensure that the work is being done properly and if the supervisor is readily available, in person, for consultation. However, this paragraph does not authorize the performance of any inspection required by Part 91 or Part 125 of this chapter or any inspection performed after a major repair or alteration."
In which case, the IA who does my annual inspections personally supervises what I (read "we") do to my airplane.
By definition, the tailwheel repair and adjustments defined in FAR Part 43 Appendix A Paragraph B titled "Minor Repairs" is subject to Part 43.3 Paragraph D (what I quoted above).
Additionally, the holder of a pilot certificate under Part 61 (that would be most all of us) who is not an A&P and owns (or operates) an aircraft operating under PART 91 only can leagally perform "Preventitve Maintenance" as defined under FAR Part 43.3 Paragraph G.
Sorry for the legal BS but I intend to know as much about my Super Cub as possible and will use the FARs to my advantage as much as possible!
