Subject: [C320-list] Cutless bearing replacement

Don't need it done now but just asking if you can replace cutlass bearing without dropping the rudder.  I have dropped the rudder once before so no big deal but just asking how difficult it is to replace Cutlass?  What about re-alignment?  I see the manual "How-to" but really, how much trouble for first timer?




Thanks,
