A. Inspection of the Annulus Fillers
(1) Examine the outer surfaces of the annulus fillers for cracks, nicks, dents and scores.
(a) If they are cracked, reject them.
(b) If they have nicks, dents or scores up to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in depth, accept them.
(c) If they have nicks, dents or scores more to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in depth, repair them (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-300-010).
(2) Examine the rubber seals of the annulus fillers for security of attachment or seals that are not there
(a) If they are raised above the annulus line, accept them, if:
1 They are still attached to the annulus fillers.
2 They have no cracks.
(c) If seals with total accumulative length not more than 61.4 in. (1.5596 m) are not fully detached from the annulus fillers, repair them (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-300-015).
(d) If the seals are detached or missing more than in (b) or (c), reject them.
(e) If the seals are worn, accept them. Worn seals must be replaced at the next shop visit.
(3) Examine the front and rear trunnions of the annulus fillers for peeling of dry film lubricant.
(a) If they have any amount of peeling of dry film lubricant, repair them at the next maintenance visit, before 36 months, 12000 Flight Hours (FH) or 8000 Flight Cycles (FC), whichever occurs first (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-300-022).

(2) Examine the rubber seals of the annulus fillers for security of attachment or seals that are not there
(a) If they are raised above the annulus line, accept them, if:
1 They are still attached to the annulus fillers.
2 They have no cracks.
NOTE: You may pick and pull up the raised seals to make sure if the seals are attached or not.
(b) If up to six separate seals are fully missing from the annulus fillers, accept them. (c) If seals with total accumulative length not more than 61.4 in. (1.5596 m) are not fully detached from the annulus fillers, repair them (Ref. AMM TASK 72-31-11-300-015).
(d) If the seals are detached or missing more than in (b) or (c), reject them.
