I’m doing my final aileron rigging in preparation for closing the wing = stubs.

I know I will have to remove the wing at least once or twice for sanding = and painting, which means unbolting the outer pushrod at the idler arm. I = was thinking of using a wider rod end bearing, p/n F45-19 on the outer = pushrod, which would eliminate the need for spacers.

How have others dealt with this? Any thoughts on my solution? =
