I drilled the bushing that goes in the bellcrank using a reamer I just
bought from Avery. I then used my ScothBrite wheel to reduce the
bushings length by about 1/16" to get it slightly longer than the
bellcrank. The bellcrank moves around the bushing and the bushing is
held tight against the spar brackets. I had to remove one of the bell
crank brackets to get the bolt in. I the greased the bushing, put it all
together and torqued it. When I re-torqued it the bracket bolts, 25
in-lbs didn't seem like enough. I very crudely checked the calibration
of my torque wrench by hanging a milk carton and throwing in clecos
until it clicked. Then I measured the jug and clecos, did the math and
it turned out to be pretty close. I guess I had to convince myself.
I primed the outsides of the pushrods. I think I will be ready to
skin the bottom in a couple of days. |
