(2) Do an inspection of the component interfaces and the adjacent area.
(3) Do a check of the filter element (2) and make sure that it is clean and not damaged.
(4) Install the new filter element (2), together with its O-ring (5), in the filter bowl (1).
(5) Engage the filter bowl (1) in the filter head (3) and tighten it with your hands.
Subtask 29-13-45-942-050-A (1) Clean the component interfaces and the adjacent area.
(2) Do an inspection of the component interfaces and the adjacent area.
(3) Do a check of the filter element (2) and make sure that it is clean and not damaged.
(4) Install the new filter element (2), together with its O-ring (5), in the filter bowl (1).
(5) Engage the filter bowl (1) in the filter head (3) and tighten it with your hands.
NOTE: If it is not possible to tighten the filter bowl (1), caught pressure upstream of the filter bowl may be the cause. Connect a ALT29000001 HYD GRND PWR UNIT3000 to the aircraft connectors 3006GM and 3008GM to release this pressure.
