Working on my aileron torque tubes. With reasonable effort, I was able to get my torque tube collars to fit into my torque tubes. However, it took 90 minutes effort to fit one of the pushrod ends into the other end of one of the torque tubes, that is AFTER fully deburring the rivet holes. The remaining three are giving me much more trouble. Mostly, I've been using Scotch-brite on both the inside of the torque tube and the outside of the pushrod end. On the inside of the tubes, I have sometimes been using Scotch-brite wrapped around a dowel, otherwise just a finger. I can't get any of these remaining pushrod ends more than 1/8" into the tubes so far. It seems it's going to take a couple full days of work to get this done.
Any other suggestions?
