When installing bolts in the rod end bearings for the elevators and rudder, I used a set of hemostats w/ some blue tape on the tip to hold the bolts during the install. Worked great to take in/out of the bearings.<br>[[File:2023-12-23 16-41-04.jpg|Rod End Bearing installation|400px]] | When installing bolts in the rod end bearings for the elevators and rudder, I used a set of hemostats w/ some blue tape on the tip to hold the bolts during the install.

* Step 2: The instructions don't specify a cotter pin for the AN310-4 castle nut; you almost certainly want to use a MS24665-132 on this castle nut but confirm with Van's as necessary. | |||
