Rudder bushing E32

I had to loosen/remove part of the steering quadrant due to alignment and failure of structure. The boat is E32, 1971-72. while the steering is loosened, I tried to check for rudder play from outside the hull. The rudder "play" seems to be about 1/4". Prior to this w/ all steering cables attached the "play" was 1/8". . I think mine is due for a change.:confused: Has anyone personally changed a rudder bushing??

You can temporarily fix this problem by filling the extra space with epoxy and graphite filler. This is described in the Gugeon Brothers pamphlet.
