Well, after having been so good about triple checking all of my rod end bearing lock nuts, I managed to install my rudder today (completely installed - with nuts torqued and rudder cables connected and cotter pinned) only to realize that I'd neglected to tighten the three lock nuts first. And...
...I can't seem to find an angle where my crowfoot (on an extension) can turn the nuts. Obviously, I really don't want to remove the entire rudder at this point.
Can anyone suggest another way of tightening those lock nuts with the rudder mounted? Please?
