Replied by Ronald Raty on topic Removing Rudder Pedals & correct Rudder Rigging
When I removed my pedals, the original rudder cable was still there, and extended to the rudder pedals with a turnbuckle connection. I just unscrewed the extension cable, screwed a clevis into the turn buckle, and attached it to the "mixer". The rudder cables cross inside the fuselage so that when you bank to the right, the rudder also turns to the right so the turn is coordinated. I spent a lot more time checking rigging and adjusting cable tension than I did actually removing the rudder pedal assembly.

Removing Rudder Pedals & correct Rudder Rigging was created by William McCormick
Been scouring the forum and the wild wild web so Can get my mechanic a leg up on removing the rudder kit. I have a PDF of a 1959 service manual and am not seeing a rigging guide. Is there a guide out there? Also when the yoke is turned, say to the right, which directions should the rudders turn? Can I assume if I bank right it inputs right rudder? And how much do they deflect/move?
