Task Instructions
1. Remove AFT tail access panel directly under the rudder. (Removal and Installation of Inspection Panels and Fairings)
2. The actuation weldment directly under the air rudder has a pushrod attached to it. Remove the bolt that connects that pushrod to the weldment.
3. Loosen jam nut on the pushrod.
4. Rotate the rodend bearing 1/2 turn at a time to obtain the desired rudder position.
5. Reattach bolt and torque per AC43.13 standard torques.
6. Swing rudder through range of motion ensuring the bellcrank does not make contact with surrounding structure.
Note: 
Once reassembled, the rudder travel and deflection limits must fall within the range specified in the maintenance manual. (Inspect Yaw Rigging)
7. Reassemble AFT tail access panel. (Removal and Installation of Inspection Panels and Fairings)
Verification Method
Verify rigging matches rudder travel and deflection limits. (Inspect Yaw Rigging)
A functional test flight should be done to ensure proper operation and minimized yawing effect.
