Hi all,
I'm looking for some words of wisdom with respect to trying to attach the pushrod assembly to the bottom of the control sticks, pg 32-05 step 6. After spending many fruitless hours trying to get my hands in there to line up the steel washers and the control rod bearing, I realized that it's not going to fit.
The internal width of the fork is 1/2", but the width of the steel washers plus the bearing is 9/16". Following the maxim of "if it doesn't look like it fits, then you're doing something wrong", I'm looking for some insight as to what I'm doing wrong.
Just for my own curiosity, what is the purpose of those steel washers? If they are to make a nice tight fit, then are both needed? Specifically, if I omit one of them, then I get a pretty good fit without needing to scrape my knuckles excessively.
Thanks in advance for any insights,
