That is what you want to say after wondering if total disassembly was the right thing to do.

As far as you rudder pedal issue I would search the forum on this subject. Look especially for the people who did a build log. This is a known problem and it usually takes us several days of work to align, trim, shim, and mount the rudder pedals and get them free from binding. There is a good chance this wasn't done properly at the original build. Now is the time to take care of it.
