Rod End Bearing Tool

Rod End Bearing Tool

Manufactured by RV-7 builder, Andrew Zachar, using durable PVC pipe, this tool is a must have item for any RV builder.  Don't wait until you're ready to install your freshly painted control surfaces to realize you should have ordered one of these!

Features:

• fits MD3614M rod end bearings
• allows easy adjustments to be made to rod end height
  
• will not mar the plating on the rod end 
• eliminates pliers, scratches, and tool damage
  
• holds the rod ends securely while tightening the stop nut
• Inexpensive!  Cheaper than a single rod end bearing
  

This handy little tool is designed to fit MD3614M rod end bearings such as those used on the elevators and rudder of most RV and other aircraft.

They don’t fit the larger MD3616M rod end bearing on the bottom of the RV rudder, but you don’t need a special tool for that one, because there is clearance below the rudder for you to get a small wrench on it.
