It looks like I am going to have to pull the center section out of 99547.  I pulled the belly skin last weekend and found good news and bad news.  The good news is that it appears as if I don't have a corrosion problem.  The bad news is that the left rear spar has been bent sometime in its past. It has a pretty good "S" bend in it.  The log book shows that in the early 70's a hangar fell on it and cause major damage to the left wing.  I suppose that is when the spar was damaged and it was let go. 
 
The bright side of it is that it will give me a chance to rebuild the center section.  The spar is nearly $300 from Univair.  Ouch.  At least it is available.
 
Any of you pull the center section before?
 
This is one time that I'm glad I'm an A&P/IA.  I couldn't afford to pay someone to do it.
