AERONUTS
This photo, and the one that precedes, were posted by LRHann. He recommends to
mark the outer drive shaft with a sharpie horizontally at the top of the rotor hub, and
vertically in line with the set holes. This makes lining up the screws easier during
reassembly.
Once all four screws have been sufficiently loosened, gently pull the lower rotor
shaft from the outer drive shaft.
Gently remove the linkages from the swashplate
’
s ball joints. This can be done with
your fingers, however ball link pliers will make this task easier and reduce the
likelihood of inadvertent damage to the links and ball joints.
Gently push the anti-rotation arm to allow the anti-rotation pin of the swashplate to
come free. Remove the swashplate from the outer shaft.
Loosen the set screw of the aluminum retaining collar that holds the outer drive
shaft in place.
