Bob, 



I stripped the paint off the torque tube and found a few locations of rust. Can I remove the bolts near the center to expose the tube where the collar sits?



I've never taken one apart before.

I have some better ones, but will have to keep digging for them.

If yours has the shear bolts at the inboard ends, you can't get the brackets too far apart.

Bob, 

Mine has two NAS bolts near the inboard attaching brackets.  Can I remove those bolts?

They are shear bolts, and the holes are reamed to a drive fit.  If you remove them (which you may need a big hammer to drive them out), it may leave the holes oversized.  I don't think they are considered field serviceable.

The only ones I've taken apart are ones that are going in for repair.
