Bill-
Thought I’d send out a public Thank-You for your advice on my flap problem from last month.
We pulled the flap actuator- couldn’t find anything visibly wrong with it- but put new seals in anyway.
Have put about 6hrs on the airplane since then with no further problems.
I’m happy to say that after nearly three years of restoration, N414C is finally back in service. Only thing we’re chasing now lousy pressurization- but we’ll get that solved in no time, I’m certain.

Well, this confirms why i didn't become a mechanic. And why I stayed away from opening cowls and covers and stuff.

JB-
No disrespect intended. 
Have flown N414C now on four flights in the past two days. Airplane is performing flawlessly.
Just have to figure out why she’s stopped pressurizing- and get rid of one really minor squawk with the new autopilot…
Was pushing 100F all around here today- and MAN those thermals get to be annoying. Been so long since I’ve flown an airplane without a yaw damper that I’d forgotten you have to actually use for feet to fly it. :-p

Yaw damper? Feet? You long-fuselage guys must have a lot more stuff to
deal with than us short-fuselage guys. A yaw damper on my 500B would be
useless equipment....I can't get her to wiggle her butt no matter what
the thermals are doing!

Just don't ever put a long nose on your bird John. I'm always amazed at
how badly that destabilizes an airplane in the yaw axis. I have a
friend with the same year Aztec I have but with the long nose. I
wallows around in rough air something terrible compared to my my short
nose airplane. Also more of a "mushy" feel in pitch at low airspeed in
comparison.

I chased lousy pressurization in 414C for years with only limited success. Good luck.
