Rudder removal

I am going to remove the rudder on my 411 for some maintence. The top two bearing are straight forward to remove. The third bearing which is on the rudder blade is more complex. Does anybody know how to remove this bearing and how to then release the rudder.

Dear John,

there is a tool, originally provided by Nautor when the boat was delivered, wich is especially made to unscrew the two bearings. Anyway if you don' t have it you can use a tool made by Usag. If you search the forum you can fin a photo and details I posted some time ago. I am sorry I am now in USA and far from my computer, but I will send you details next week...by the way, we are going to see each other well before!

fair winds!
