Our club member and retired toolmaker had to modify some box wrenches to remove the lower rudder bolt. A small amount of Dremel work was still needed to gain access. Removing the elevator pushrod bolt is no easy task because of the tight access. Elevator pushrod was extracted and the required 6 mm hole drilled. No water or corrosion found in the pushrod. Awaiting inspection, reassembly and logbook entry by our A&P.

Thanks for the update! Had a quick look at mine and it is a bit tight around the lower bolt of the rudder. Does your Astir CS have the "welded" type or the "riveted" type pushrod?
