Hi Stuart, I do not know how your rudder stock is configured as Kimberlite is a 53. If is like mine…. The nut on my quadrant is about 60 mm. If I had a wrench on board that size it would not fit

Stuart, The last time I did this on a 55, I removed the quadrant because it was easier to do with the quadrant removed. I believe you might be able to do it without the removal, but that will depend

Hello Jorg, Thank you very much for your reply with photograph. We have the large Amel spanner but no inspection plate... Do we have to remove the quadrant and it’s connections to access the rudder

Hi Dan, Others have commented that you should be fine with what you've got plus, perhaps, some sheet gasket material. Under your #3 though - tricks, traps or learnings - I'd add to be sure to replace
