[C320-list] Dropping Rudder

[Jeff Church]

Rod,

The cutlass bearing isn't built in 2 halves. It is a brass bushing with a 
rubber surface on the inside diameter. It can be removed by first removing 
the prop and then using a tool that pushes the bushing assembly out. The new 
one is simply tapped into place. I just had the yard do mine and they 
charged $150 for parts and labor with me doing the prop R&R.
