New SB (SB-G09) on elevator pushrods for most all Grobs
Our Astir 102CS was a bit of a bugger to access. We removed the rudder, which was easy enough, but that pushrod lower clevis thru bolt was tough. It took two of us and a special long 1/4” drive wrench to remove and replace. We erred on the side of caution ahead of time and ordered a new one via Roger Mudd. Was north of $500. Turns out our original one was fine. Note that not all 103’s are affected—ours isn’t.

New SB (SB-G09) on elevator pushrods for most all Grobs
With my Astir CS I didn't have much difficulty:* removing the lower
rudder bolt was done with a 10mm open end wrench used vertically and the pushrod bolt went loose easily (= normal force applied). Lindner even added three new nuts with the ste I ordered. No moisture and no rust inside the rod, so no problem... Okko (Netherlands) Op 8-8-2020 om 5:14 schreef Larry Ruggiero: Our Astir 102CS was a bit of a bugger to access.
