Brief Description:  Rudder Pedals Center Bearing Bolt Change

Changed out two rudder pedal center bearing bolts today. Three bolts run through two halves of a teflon bearing on the forward cockpit floor and through the floor skin to the outer fuselage. When routing the fuel hoses and brake lines through the forward cockpit area, I used two of these bolts to hold two adel clamps to secure the hoses and lines. The added thickness of the adel clamps left the bolts with too few threads outside the locking nuts, so today I replaced them.

This was not an easy job to do solo since the two ends are inside and outside of the airplane, so I enlisted my visiting son-in-law to ride my creeper underneath and keep the nuts from turning while I contorted myself to remove and replace the two bolts.
