What could cause extremely high effort to release a Tost CG hook on a Twin Astir?
- Mountings bolts/nuts overtightened during installation(some earlier Tost
releases do not have the mounting bolt bushings inside the hook)? - Nose-release blocked (had this on an ASK-21 with a sheared off M6-bolthead fallen inside the release, very hard to find)? - Actuator-arms of new release not in the same position as before removal of old release (they are adjustable) causing pre-tension on actuation cable? - Dirt/debris in any actuating cable jackets (e.g. Bowden)? - Wrong hardness mountings bolts (4.6) fitted, distorting bolts? If release just installed, mounting bolt tightening or actuator arm position usually to blame.
