Heel brakes bent...

[mike mcs repair]

Mike what’s the most common way to access from underneath to front pedal to remove it? I can cut inspection ring in fabric and maybe reach underside or do you have to cut inspection ring in boot cowl w hole saw? Can you remove brake pedal w floor in? I have one possibly bent the other seems loose when you push front pedal it twists someone in its place before it actually moves the brake connection rod.

Depends on your boot cowl. Some open easy. But most you must cut and add a GOOD plate so you don’t get CO poisoned

You might be able to straighten (re-align) the bent one in place. I've seen it done with a big pair of channel locks.

Pretty common, I'd put a doubler on top of the floor board if it is cracked, replace the pedal and get on with it. You would have to pul the front floor board to get that channel out, no fun on a covered airplane with a factory bootcowl.

Hello Steve.! There is any chance to remove the front floorboard without removing the original bootcowl?? I am stuck on that process

^^^This should be a kit!^^^ every cub will need access eventually. Being able to get in there every annual to check on things would be nice too

Or build a removable boot cowl during the rebuild with an atlee HD channel

Yep, no other way in my opinion.

Thank you very much Steve, i will proceed drilling two inspection holes under the boot cowl, it seems impossible to re install the front pedals without any access to it and a waste of time trying and loosing many tools and nuts.
if i ever do a complete restoration i will go with the 3 piece boot cowl! nice improvement. now is time to make the super cub just in good flying condition.. best to all of you!

You can also cut round holes for the fabric inspection covers too
