“Whenever I have the opportunity to walk around a King Air with an owner or pilot, I am forever checking flaps for play and more often than not, I find flaps that are too stiff!”
See the flap in the down position in Figure 2, above, and note the two flap track assemblies that jut out from the wing structure. They flank the central area of the flap.

The roller bearing is always between the flap track and the inside bracket adjacent to the center area of the flap.
