TM 1-1520-237-23 INSTALLATION [4 of Mon Nov 08 13:46:42 Sat Oct 20 23:53:46

[WP 1148 00] - 30 JULY 2010, FORWARD BELLCRANK 4] 2010 2012

INSTALLATION
QA 1. Install replacement forward bellcrank in forward bellcrank support with long arm (with rigging pin hole) down. Install spacer through inboard side of support (Figure 1).

Warning

Cleaning compound is combustible and toxic to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Wear protective gloves and goggles/face shield. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use only in well ventilated areas (or use approved respirator as determined by local safety/industrial hygiene personnel). Keep away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces or other sources of ignition.
Caution

If resistance or binding of the retaining ball mechanism is observed when pin is actuated, do not apply corrosion preventive compound to free the mechanism. The inner core of the bolt is corroded and must be rejected. 2. Clean special self-retaining bolt using a cleaning cloth, WP 2012 00, Item 86, moistened with cleaning compound solvent, WP 2012 00, Item 71. a. Inspect special self-retaining bolt for evidence of corrosion in the area of retaining balls, threads, cotter pin hole, retaining pin hole in bolthead, and hole in threaded end of special self-retaining bolt. b. Visually inspect special self-retaining bolt for cracks in area of retaining balls and threads. c. Replace any special self-retaining bolt with visible corrosion or cracks. 3. Release retaining balls by holding retaining pin in. Apply corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 105, to special self-retaining bolt as follows: a. Work corrosion preventive compound through one retaining ball hole until excess is seen at opposite ball hole. Rotate bolt 180 degrees and repeat procedure. b. While working retaining pin, spray corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 105, into hole in bolthead and hole in end of special self-retaining bolt. c. Wipe excessive corrosion preventive compound from bolt using cleaning cloth, WP 2012 00, Item 86, prior to installation. d.

TM 1-1520-237-23 - [WP 1148 00] - 30 JULY 2010, FORWARD BELLCRANK INSTALLATION [4 of 4]

Apply corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 101, to the exterior retaining ball area and threads.
Warning

CSI Verification of proper hardware installation, torque, safety installation and proof torque of special self-retaining bolts are critical characteristics.
Note

Turn eccentric bushings as necessary to line up boltholes. Add recessed washer (beveled side against head) under bolthead first. Add flat washers as necessary, to ensure nut is bottomed against control rod and not on bolt. QA 4. Install special self-retaining bolt and washers (maximum of 3 washers under bolthead) through eccentric bushings and bellcrank to provide correct grip length and cotter pin position. 5. Check bolt for free axial motion and that impedance feature is not restrained in part. If bolt binds and impedance feature is depressed, change washer stackup. 6. Install nut. TORQUE NUT TO 925 - 1350 INCH-POUNDS.
Note

QA

If unable to proof torque bolthead, use a crowfoot attachment to torque nut, without disturbing cotter pin, and without restraining bolthead. QA 7. APPLY TIGHTENING TORQUE (PROOF LOAD) OF 630 - 650 INCH-POUNDS in tightening direction. If bolt rotates adjust by adding washers (WP 1047 00) and reinstall, repeating step 6. and step 7. Install cotter pin. 8. Apply torque stripe (WP 0389 00 and TM 55-1500-345-23). 9. Install control rod and link on forward bellcrank (WP 1138 00 and WP 1142 00). 10. Turn on all electrical and hydraulic power. QA 11. Raise collective and remove wood blocks from between swashplate and main gear box. 12. Turn off all electrical and hydraulic power. 13. Check area for cleanliness and foreign material. QA 14. Install transmission fairings. 15. Close main rotor pylon sliding cover.
