A. Removal of the Fuel Flow Transmitter:
(1) Disconnect the electrical connector (130) from the fuel flow transmitter (140).
Use PLIERS - NOSE, SOFT, LONG if necessary.
(2) Put the CAP-BLANKING on each disconnected electrical connector and receptacle.
(3) Remove the bolt (50) and nut (80) from the clamp (60) that attaches the electrical connector (130) to the support bracket (70).Remove the clamp (60).
(4) Remove the fuel supply tube (200) as follows:
(a) Remove the bolts (210) that attach the fuel supply tube (200) to the discharge port of the hydromechanical unit (HMU).
(b) Remove the bolts (190) that attach the fuel supply tube (200) to the fuel flow transmitter (140).
(c) Remove the fuel supply tube (200).
(d) Remove and discard the O-ring (180).
(e) Remove the gasket (220).
(5) Do an inspection of the gasket (220). Discard the gasket (220) if it is damaged (Ref. AMM TASK 70-21-00-918-002).
(6) Install PLUG - BLANKING on the open discharge port of the HMU and on the open ends of the fuel supply tube (200).
(7) Remove the bolts (150) and washers (160) that attach the inlet bracket (170) to the HMU.
(8) Remove the bolts (100) and washers (110) that attach the discharge bracket (120) to the HMU.
(9) Disconnect the fuel supply hose (20) from the union (10) of the fuel injected supply tube.
(10) Remove the fuel flow transmitter (140) with the inlet bracket (170), discharge bracket (120), and supply hose (20) installed.
(11) Remove the inlet bracket (170) from the fuel flow transmitter (140).
(12) Remove the fuel supply hose (20) as follows:
(a) Remove the bolts (30) that attach the fuel supply hose (20) to the fuel flow transmitter (140).
(b) Remove the remaining bolts (40) and support bracket (70) from the flange of the fuel supply hose (20).
(c) Remove the fuel supply hose (20).
(d) Remove and discard the O-ring (90).
(e) Install PLUG - BLANKING on the fuel supply hose (20) and the union (10) of the fuel injected supply tube.
(13) Disengage the alignment pin on the fuel flow transmitter (140) from the discharge bracket (120). Remove the fuel flow transmitter (140).
(14) After removal, fill the fuel flow transmitter with fuel system preventative (Material No.CP5066) for preservation.
