Maybe you already know all this, but FYI just in case.

Jim, step 16 says “Press the bearing into the aft center elevator hinge”. There isn’t any pressing to be done. If the wind blows, the bearing will blow out the other side.

I havent gotten to the pressing the bushing PN 11500 into PN 93021 yet. I was just checking the fit of the bearing/elevator hinge and it seemed wrong.
