Steering chain failure

   My 418 was the same and I moved the drag link to the outboard hole. The insert was very stiff but did come out. Can you make some kind of puller device a bit like a prop puller?

	My 455 wire broke at the pulley several years ago even though greased yearly. I replaced with 10mm dyneema which is multiple times stronger and not affected by the environment. Works great after the stretch was initially adjusted. I still grease the chains and inspect yearly or if I’m heading out/returning from a long trip. I also dismantle and clean/grease the autopilot arms as they get a workout.
