On re-reading this, perhaps I should clarify. Take out the bolt on which the rudder _blade_ pivots. Not the pintle* on which the whole rudder assembly pivots. The potential problem I'm discussing is the friction and wear between the blade parts and the rest of the assembly. Sorry for any confusion!!
