in the center of the opening.
3. Remove the access plate to the aileron bellcrank (6) located on the underside of the wing forward of the
inboard end of the aileron.
4. Disconnect the aileron centering springs from the plate on the bellcrank.
5. Disconnect the cable from the aft end of the aileron bellcrank by removing the cotter pin, nut, washer
and bolt.

d. When both the primary control cable and the balance cable are removed, the plate on the bellcrank used as
part of the aileron centering device is also removed.
