Hi Adam,

My Legacy flap torque tube had the same problem as yours. I = set each=20 of the two tubes on the workbench, with the flat plate on the bench and = the tube=20 sticking up in the air.

I used a carpenter's square to determine which part of the flange = was not=20 perpendicular to the tube and then bent it a tiny bit in a vise to put = it back=20 to the correct position. Keep working around the flange until the = tube is=20 standing perpendicular to the table all the way around it.

You may also have a problem with the brackets that hold each end of = the=20 torque tube assembly. Mine needed to be bent slightly to get them=20 to line up properly.

Even after all this, I still needed to shim the joint between the = two=20 torque tubes a tiny bit. I don't remember the exact thickness = of the=20 shims, but they were about the same thickness as a Guinness Stout = beer=20 can. Try the shim at different spots around the flange and = keep at it=20 until the binding goes away.

Good luck,

Dennis Johnson
