Don't know if it's important, and i can't really oversee the implications,
if it's important let somebody please bring it to the attention of the
accident ivestigators. I doubt if they do investigate these archives.
In one of the threads about the tailplane drive the following message has
been written:

Replacement of tailplane torque tube drive
The other way is to clean the drive sleeve and torque tube surfaces with
acetone and a jet of compressed air, then use a wicking grade Loctite to
bond them together after lining up the tailplane trailing edges. It must be
about 800 to 900 hours since I did that to mine and they are still solid. I
will, of course, have to deal with dismantling if I ever have to, but a
heat
source inside the torque tube should do the trick. I also had to provide
some lubricating tubes to replace the oil into the torque tube bearings,
because the acetone washes that out too.
