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!

(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). Charlie ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:08:50 PM PST US From: "Stuart Harner" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Removing bolt from elevator control mechanism 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!
