Can someone educate me on if/how the 1-piece floor panel beneath the aft seat comes out? The forward 2-piece panel set comes out easily, and my baggage compartment panel is cut in 2, so it comes out as well. However, I am unable to clear the aileron bellcranks and rudder pedal cables when trying to take out the aft panel. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

Ryan

Interesting! I just installed the floor this afternoon as part of reassembly after an annual. It's a PIA, especially when it's 96 in the hangar.

What works best for me is to tip the side of that panel up under the left rudder cable and use the shaft from a #1 phillips screwdriver to guide the cable around it until the cable snaps under it. It tensions the cable a bit but hasn't seemed to hurt anything after many annual repetitions.

You're cables may be tighter than mine though my IA thinks the tension is ok. If anybody has a better idea, I'm all ears.
