4. Procedure
Subtask 72-54-00-010-058-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Removal of the Borescope Plugs
(1) Let the temperature of parts decrease to ambient temperature.
(2) Cut and remove the lockwires. Then, remove the borescope plugs S17 (or S18); remove the plugs S20, S21 and S22.

NOTE: The borescope plugs S17 and S18 are in the same plane and located respectively, at 5:30 and 8:30 (ALF) immediately in front of combustion case aft flange. The borescope plugs S20, S21 and S22 are located at 5:00 o'clock (ALF) on the LPT case. From front to rear they relate approximately to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th LPT stages.

B. Install the 856A1320 BORESCOPE-KIT (G01) as follows:

CAUTION: BEFORE YOU CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE POWER SOURCE BE SURE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION AND LIGHT INTENSITY CONTROL IS SET TO MINIMUM. MAKE SURE THAT PROJECTOR AND POWER SUPPLY ARE CORRECTLY GROUNDED.

(1) Connect the power supply to a grounded 110 VAC 60 Hz power source.
(2) Connect light source cable to rigid borescope and to port on 856A1322 BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322P02/P03/P04/P07/P08) light source.
(3) Turn light source on; insert borescope and position it as desired for inspection.
