On Persistence website www.hoytsailing.com<http://www.hoytsailing.com> at the bottom of the page is a link to the rudder bearing replacement project that we undertook two years ago. Different boat but much of it will be similar.
At least you will not have to deal with a steering quadrant and a bunch of cables so access should be better. We found that the lower bearing (was in fact a bushing) had screws holding it in place that we did not find until we cut out the old bearing. Look closely for these screws while you are enjoying all the comforts of crawling around in your cockpit locker!

It wears over time allowing wobble. Had issue with my 82 34. Fix was done on the hard. Support rudder. Remove bearing. Machine shop inserted bronze bearing. Reinstall.

Has anyone else had this experience? What is the remedy. I plan to haul out in June to inspect.
