I've got quite an old rudder cheek assembly that has enough slop where the pintle pin goes through the upper hole to kind of annoy me. Here's a picture of where the slop is.
The main thing that bugs me is the forward and back slop makes it hard to set a precise height that the forward end of the tiller is above the deck. Could I remove the pintle and put something like J-B Weld into the worn upper aluminum hole the re-drill the hole to eliminate the slop?
I also think I remember reading that removing the pintle and spring then putting them back can be a real pain. Any and all suggestions are, as usual, very welcome!
