well, if you ever had the verticle stab just wanting to hang on instead of just taking off. It's different.
Just cut the hinge and rehinge next to it. You have to repair the verticle stab anyway.


If you don't want to remove the elevator just wack the metal rod with a drimel.
Then run a Y linkage set up. Just wrap another rod linkage with threads to the dowl and bend it accordingly.

Just drop threads/string with a needle into the linkage exit holes and CA/and tie the string to the rods to help you pull it through.
