Caution: when working at control systems
To keep humidity out of the pushrods and prevent corrosion, there are no
inspection holes to check rod end depth.
Rod end bearings used may have different thread lengths with identical heads.
Therefore, before adjusting rod end bearings, remaining thread reach must be
checked by disassembly.
