[C320-list] Cutlass bearing and...

[Dave Anderer]

Update:  Steps 1-3 below worked fine, but the train derailed on step 4.  
There is no way I can see to get the new shaft in without dropping the 
rudder.  It is not even close.

(Some folks have been able to make this work - I sure would appreciate 
knowing the magic involved.  Or maybe it just varies between boats.)
