Many of our boat’s rudders are supported by Delrin bushings. Many of these
parts have lasted a long time. When they need replacement I would suggest using
Delrin AF. It’s PTFE impregnated Delrin, somewhat slipperier than the original.

On Prime Interest one of the set screws wasn't even tapped all the way
through to the post. In any case I had great difficulty trying to remove
that one. Eventually used a bolt removal set. The set screws were made of
some very soft metal making removal painful.
Removing the collar was a slow proc
Simon — did you have any issues getting the Allen set screws loose on the upper
collar, and getting it off? I’m facing dropping the rudder this winter, and
would appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks!

I use super lube synthetic grease on the rudder bearing. My LF38 has a grease nipple at the lower bearing with a hose attached...the hose is routed over to the stbd lazerette and has another grease nipple attached to it. This setup allows me to easily grease the rudder from the lazerette.
I have removed the rudder and would like guidance on the type of lubricant
to use in the lower section where the rudder passes through the fibreglass
tube.
What is the best replacement material for the nylon (?) disc of the thrust
bearing?
Has anyone installed a grease fitting in the thrust bearing
