A. Locking of Acoustical Panels
(a) Remove the bolt.
(b) Clean all damaged cupsSPM 702111 .
(c) Fill all damaged cups with RTV 732 (Material No.CP2242) or RTV 102 (Material No.CP2266) or RTV 730 (Material No.CP2431) .
(3) Re-install the acoustical panels and screws.
(b) If the self locking nut torque is between 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) and 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), TORQUE the screws of fwd and mid panels to between 93 and 84 lbf.in (1.05 and 0.95 m.daN )
and TORQUE the screws of aft panels to between 75 and 66 lbf.in (0.85 and 0.75 m.daN )
.
(c) If the self locking nut torque is more than 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), but less than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), TORQUE the screws at the running torque value and add 44 lbf.in (0.50 m.daN).
(d) If the self locking nut torque is more than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), remove the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-000-040) and do the engine shop repair procedure to replace the self locking nutESM 722302300008 .
5. Close-upCAUTION:
COATING SCREWS IS MANDATORY.
(1) If panel cup(s) found pierced, do the procedure that follows: (a) Remove the bolt.
(b) Clean all damaged cups
(c) Fill all damaged cups with RTV 732 (Material No.CP2242) or RTV 102 (Material No.CP2266) or RTV 730 (Material No.CP2431) .
NOTE: You must install the screw, with only a light layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) , a short time after you apply the RTV (before polymerisation).
(2) Apply a layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads of all the screws that attach acoustical panels. (3) Re-install the acoustical panels and screws.
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED THE SPEED OF 200 RPM TO APPROACH ALL ACOUSTICAL PANEL SCREWS BY USING PNEUMATIC OR ELECTRICAL SCREW DRIVERS.
(4) Measure the self locking nut torque of each nut when you start to tighten the screws. NOTE: Make sure that the screws are not damaged, replace them if necessary.
(a) If the self locking nut torque is less than 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-400-042). (b) If the self locking nut torque is between 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) and 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), TORQUE the screws of fwd and mid panels to between 93 and 84 lbf.in (1.05 and 0.95 m.daN )
and TORQUE the screws of aft panels to between 75 and 66 lbf.in (0.85 and 0.75 m.daN )
. (c) If the self locking nut torque is more than 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), but less than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), TORQUE the screws at the running torque value and add 44 lbf.in (0.50 m.daN).
(d) If the self locking nut torque is more than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), remove the engine (Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-000-040) and do the engine shop repair procedure to replace the self locking nut
