IIRC, on my C&C 39 I removed the collar, (first block the bottom of the rudder)
Loosened the quadrant, , and drove a screwdriver or pry bar into the slot on the back, to hold it open a little bit so it would slip. Then I had to dig a hole and jack the back of the cradle up some. Measure how much shaft has to come out to the bottom to determine how much room you need below the rudder. If you still have a barn door rudder, you may not need to do this. Mine was either 120 or 140 Pounds, I did it myself, but I was 20 years younger then. I would get help now.. Especially to put it back in!

Hi all, I started the process of removing my rudder. I have loosened the quadrant and cables attached to it and removed the bearing on the top of the rudder. Should it now just drop out? What else needs to be done?. Thanks all.
