Mokied,
I a prepared a page that covers some of the problems in the controls on our Ercoupes. I did not go into detail about the heim bearings of the control column(s) But my experience is that you will need to unscrew the lower control column completely to be able to get the bolts outs of the column. Then you can replace the heim bearings. It is a lot of nasty work laying upside down there, but still reasonable.

I am talking about the one inside the cockpit by the yoke control. I have a little bit of shimmy when I land and I think it will help to change that socket out. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
