(b) Remove the screw that secures the elevator cable end retainers (i.e. - lockplates) to the
forward quadrants (on the elevator torque tube).
(c) Pull the cables aft through the fuselage after removing the cable guards at the elevator
pulleys and the fin type control cable air seal clips.
(3) To remove the aft elevator cable assemblies:
(a) Disconnect the cable turnbuckles (located forward of the aft elevator quadrant).
(b) Cut safety wire on cable end retainer (i.e. - lockplate) screws. Remove screws.
(c) Remove cable guards and remove cables.
(4) To remove the elevator aft quadrant:
(a) Remove the elevator aft cable assemblies from the quadrant (refer to step 3).
(b) Remove the bolt, nut, washers and bushings which secure the quadrant assembly to the
bulkhead (note position of bushings as removed).

B. Installation
(1) To install the elevator aft quadrant:
(a) Position the elevator quadrant in place.
(b) Refer to Figure 1 for correct placement of hardware on bolt when installing rear quadrant.
(c) Attach cables to quadrant assembly and secure the cable end retainers (i.e. - lockplate)
with screws (see note below). Safety the cable end retainer screws with MS20995-C32
safety wire. Ensure the safety wire is installed so that the wire is inside and clear of the
elevator pushrod fork through the full travel of the quadrant.
NOTE: As of early 2006, the original MS35265-42 fillister head screw has been replaced
by a higher strength MS24674-8 (P/N 520-036) socket head screw. In earlier
airplanes, anytime the cable end retainer screws are removed, if the original
fillister head screws are still installed, they must be replaced with the socket head
screws upon reassembly. Additionally, when using the MS24674-8 (P/N 520-036)
socket head screws, torque to 12 to 15 in.-lbs.
(d) Adjust cable guards to be 0.01 ± 0.01 inch from the edge of the quadrant.
(e) Refer to steps (5) and (6).
(2) To install the elevator torque tube quadrant:
(a) Position the quadrant assembly on the torque tube.
(b) Secure quadrant with bolt, nut and washer (two places).
(c) Attach cables to quadrant assembly and secure the cable end retainers (i.e. - lockplate)
with screws (see note below). Safety the cable end retainer screws with MS20995-C32
safety wire.
