if you want to avoid taking the rudder off, once you remove the old bumper plates, don't attach the new bumpers on the horn until the new nutplates, doubler, and bolts are installed.


My A&P installed the kit without removing the rudder. With the new bumpers in place, there wasn't enough room to get the right-hand stop bolt started. He had to shorten it.
