    Default Rudder Torque Tube Bearing

    I have split the rudder pedal torque tube bearing as in the manual but when fitted the bearing rotates in the inboard rudder pedal tube and not around the rudder torque tube. I do not know what kind of plastic the bearing is made of but was thinking of using super glue to hold it in place, I thought about bearing lock (loctite) but wondered if it would react with the plastic. How do you secure the bearing if at all to stop it rotating in the rudder pedal tube?

    I don't think it really matters which is rotating on which... as long as the movement is smooth with little friction.
