...and install idler bracket. Such a simple instruction.
Aye Carumba.
I don't know what the deal was tonight, but it took me about an hour to get 1 nut and bolt together. I've decided to install the rear rudder pedals--I think I can get them in and out pretty easily when needed so I installed the brackets to the lower gear towers tonight. The left side took about 3 minutes, the right side--specifically the bolt that goes inside the gear tower--took about 57 more minutes. I'm left handed and had to hold the nut with my right hand and just couldn't get it. As I type I have what I think are permanent creases in my forearms and wrists from the litening holes on the gear towers. Glad the kids were in bed because I said a few (a lot) of bad words.
Thanks for wasting 30 seconds of your life reading--it's too late to go outside and yell Drago ala Rocky 4 as loudly as I can, so I'm here quietly claiming my victory over the nut before turning in.
Next detour: Cut bigger access holes in the gear towers. Can't wait for the gear bolts.
