It really should have been pretty easy, but nothing ever is. The lower bearing (bushing!) would not stay in place, nor stay the right size. We had to channel all our inner MacGyver to pull it off before we no longer had the travel lift to help. Soon enough we'll be sailing...but not without a rudder :-) Check out our new store at www.expeditionevans.com/shop Thanks for watching- With love The Evans' **************************************** *Our Boat* 2008 Beneteau 49 3 cabin 2 head 4JH4-TE Westerbeke generator Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage Here's what we *think* we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See https://youtu.be/JJ3MruoO2q4 for how we came to own her! **************************************** *Our Gear* Main Camera: https://amzn.to/3h9CiOg Main Lens: https://amzn.to/2Q3hYC7 Microphone: https://amzn.to/3iSDGoV Action Camera: https://amzn.to/4ibLwJV Drone: https://amzn.to/2Yf3X8S Laptop: https://amzn.to/3h9ydcL *Find Us Elsewhere* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExpeditionEvans J Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Jadexploring/ B Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_BrettEvans_ EE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ExpeditionEvans *Website/blog* https://www.expeditionevans.com *Want to support us?" https://www.patreon.com/expeditionevans
