Step 9- remove the R-607PP and R-608PP reinforcement plates and mark the sides which go against the R-1002 Spar Web

Step 10- completely disassemble the rest of the rudder and deburr all holes and any edges that have not yet been deburred

Step 11- Dimple the holes in the skins, flanges of the stiffeners, spar and ribs.

Step 12-Machine countersink the holes in the R-1006 Trailing edge on both sides) for the dimples in the skins  Note- It was hard to keep the drill perpendicular to the trailing edge because of the shape, we used one of the elevator trailing edges underneath it which will square the work.
