Re: Elto rudder twin stuck solid

I got some "IF’S" for ya.
Take one cyl. loose and see "IF" you can pull it loose.
Only one may be stuck. Just pull. Don’t twist. You’ll
just twist the rod if its stuck. "IF" it loose don’t pull
it off. Push it back and put the bolts back on. Go to
the other side. Now "IF" the first one you try is the
stuck one the cylinder and piston will come out
together and stop when the other is at top dead center.
Depending on where the piston is stuck in the cylinder
will determine how much room you will have to push
against the block. (Video)
If you pull off the free one first its going to be
flopping around while your trying to get the other
one loose. Most likely once you break the stuck one
free you’ll be able to just slide it the rest of the
way off. What you find will determine if the other
needs to be removed. "IF" both are stuck or one is
stuck at, or close, to top dead center it gets more difficult.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
