Hi All

Just starting a rebuild of a new to me FS2 and I am in the process of disassembly.

I am trying to remove the bolt holding the elevator control mechanism to the elevator it is rusted stuck in place to the bolt and was wondering if i could cut the tubing and bolt and just replace the tubing that appears to be inserted threw the tubing attached to the elevator?

Are they supposed to sliding on each other? Mine are rusted together.

Rust never sleeps!
Thank you Mike

Have you tried some of the more powerful rust dissolvers? (50-50 mix of

acetone and automatic transmission fluid works amazingly well.) If it
were mine, I'd also at least try a 2 jaw gear puller to see if it could
push the bolt out (after the home-built rust cutter treatment).

Yes, acetone/ATF is a fantastic mix. It takes time to soak through.

Also heat it with a torch and then cool it off. Heat/cool cycles work to
break the rust loose. Alternating the heat/cool, soak routine and be
patient, it will come loose!

I finally cut them off with a die grinder after talking with Bryan
at Kolb. The tubing is just spacers so easily replaced.

However the remaining bolt is frozen inside the elevators so bad
I can't twist out the bolts even with vice grips! So I'm soaking in
the Acetone mix tonight hopefully I don't have to remake the elevators.

Thanks guys I appreciate the suggestions.
Mike

Looks good to me. When in doubt, or testing, put "do not archive" somewhere in your message. That way it won't tie up Matt's computer space.

Success! I tried a 5 inch bench vise but it was still not budging so I got a harbor freight bearing press and that did the trick.
thank you
