I remove the entire rudder pin on one side and pull the casting out. [/quote]
I love this site--Thanks for the input , guys! Q; do you have some odd kind of cotter pin holding the rudder pivot pin in place? The one on my boat is a standard cotter key, and it looks like it would take a while to get it out.
BTW Q I looked at your profile...MAN do you have a clean lookin old boat! The 18 I have is in great shape, too. It's been in covered storage for a few years and not sailed too often before that I think. I took the sails to a sail loft for a once over, mainly because the jib zipper was frozen, but they called and said only a few stitches were needed and one jib batten was broke. $200.00 and I have almost new sails!

Currently I use

however when on the water I push pin all the way in to the large rounded end not just to the notch. When I have the rudder assembly off I put the pins back in the stern mounts upside down so the permanent ring on the hinge pins is on the top so it can't accidentally fall out on the road. I then use the above pin in the bottom.
I would like to try

instead.
On my profile if you are referring the picture of the P18 side view.
