I just got a cockpit and the control are all off, I'm hoping to drop in a replacement yoke but after looking at the instruction (no help) and only seeing bolts from the out side. What is the best way to get the yoke off the control panel? Im sure there is something easy I'm missing thanks
 
Good luck finding a replacement yoke. There is a yoke rebuild kit on eBay you might take a look at. You have to go in from the coin door and undo the bolts behind the large metal panel (could be nuts, could be wing nuts) and flip the control panel down to unbolt the yoke from the back side. If this is your first yoke rebuild, you might dig around the forums for a link to a yoke rebuild that a forum member did about a year and a half ago. (Might have been longer) where he documents the process.

Cheers, I need to do this too
 
The yoke is held to the control panel by 4 long carriage bolts. Just flip the control panel back and unscrew the lock nuts that hold the yoke to the control panel. Make sure you unhook the wiring harness first, so you don't yank your control wiring out when you separate the yoke from the panel.
