[frers-list]Drop rudder

[frers-list@lists.frers33.com]

When you remove the quadrant, it should be on that part of the stock. Keeps t=
he quadrant from spinning on the shaft. I used a hydraulic car jack to contr=
ol the drop. If partway down now, jack back into place to find the key.  Las=
t time I tried, the key was frozen in place. I knew my lower bushing was pre=
ss fit, so I just bounced the rudder up and down turning as I went and event=
ually the key pushed the bushing out.=20

ifferent as some have made modifications.  You may need to use some pressure=
 to get rudder to drop out depending upon the type of bushings used and how h=
ey were installed.
