WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.
CAUTION:
YOU MUST NOT DO THIS REPAIR TO A LOOSE ROD END OR TO A ROD END THAT HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED BY APPROVED PROCEDURES. YOU CANNOT GET THE CORRECT INSTALLATION DIMENSION IF YOU DO THIS REPAIR TO THESE ROD ENDS. THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ACC SYSTEM PARTS AND TO THE TURBINE SECTION.
