Rudder Pedals - Part 5

The technique for fixing the bolts originally outlined in Part 4 depended on the lock wire to hold the bolts into the pedal spigots but a little voice kept saying "not a good idea you are breaking the rules."

Connecting Rod Bolts
The treads of the bolts and nut in the pedals were cleaned with wax and grease remover to remove all trace of the no seize.

The bolts were all inserted and tightened using the flange of the nut and a pair of multi grips. Not personally a preferred method but the use of the cap head screws combined with access precluded any other method.

Each bolts was then lock wired using s/s lock-wire wrapped around the head on the washer side to ensure it did not lodge between the bearing and the inside face of the washer.

Each bearing checked for freedom of movement after lock-wiring before doing the next.
