(2) Put the CAP-BLANKING on each disconnected electrical connector and receptacle.
(3) Disconnect the artificial feel and trim unit (1) from the lever arm (2) as follows:
(a) Remove and discard the cotter pin (12).
(b) Remove the nut (11), the washers (10) and (33), the bushes (7) and (32) and the bolt (6). Move the eye-end (23) clear of the lever arm (2).
(4) Disconnect the artificial feel and trim unit (1) from the support bracket (5) as follows:

(b) Remove the nuts (19), the washers (18), the bushes (15) and the bolts (14).
(5) Move the fork-end (22) clear of the lugs of the support bracket (5).
(6) Disconnect the universal joint (21) from the splined shaft (26) of the rudder trim actuator (4).
(7) Remove the artificial feel and trim unit (1), between the frame and the structure at the right side of the aircraft.

NOTE: Do not disconnect the universal joint (21) from the splined shaft (35) of the artificial feel and trim unit (1) unless a repair or a new installation is necessary.

NOTE: It may be necessary to:

shorten the artificial feel and trim unit (1), and/or,
remove two lower attachment bolts from the frame (one at each side), to increase the clearance available.

(8) Disconnect the solenoid (3) from the artificial feel and trim unit (1), if necessary (Ref. AMM TASK 27-23-17-000-001).
(9) If necessary, disconnect the universal joint (21) from the splined shaft (35) of the artificial feel and trim unit (1) as follows:
(a) Remove and discard the cotter pin (40).
