C. Removal of the VBV Stop Mechanism
(1) Remove the bracket (140) and flexible clamp (130) from the "VBV CLOSED" end of fuel gear motor (40) as follows:
(a) Remove the 2 bolts (150) which attach the clamps (160) and (170) to the bracket (140).
Put the electrical cables CJ11L (VBV-A) and CJ12L (VBV-B) out of the way for the remaining removal. Leave the clamps (160) and (170) in place on the electrical cables.
(b) Remove nut (180) and bolt (120). Then, remove bracket (140) and flexible clamp (130) from the VBV fuel gear motor (40).
(2) Disconnect the 2 tube branches (20) of the U-shaped fuel drain manifold from the sliding sleeve (70) of VBV OPEN port tube (30) and VBV CLOSED port tube (10).
(a) Cut and remove the lockwire which safeties together the (round and knurled) outer coupling nuts (60).
Fully loosen outer nut (60). This releases the sliding sleeve (70).
(b) Move the sliding sleeve (70) and coupling nut (60) downward. This gives access to the inner connecting nut (90).
(4) Loosen the coupling nuts:
(b) Remove O-ring (50) from sliding sleeve (70). Move sleeve (70) fully downward and remove O-ring (80). Discard O-rings (50) and (80).
(5) Remove the bleed valve fuel gear motor (40) and the VBV stop mechanism (210), as a complete assembly, as follows:
(b) Carefully move back the assembly, together with the VBV main flexible shaft, and remove from the fan frame.
(c) Remove the VBV main flexible shaft from the stop mechanism (210).
(d) Do the visual inspection of the VBV main flexible shaft and of the inter-connecting flexible shafts (Ref. AMM TASK 75-31-30-200-002).
(6) Remove the stop mechanism (210) from the bleed valve fuel gear motor (40) as follows:
(b) Remove the O-ring (200) from bleed valve fuel gear motor mounting diameter and discard the O-ring (200).
Subtask 75-31-20-620-051-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (1) Remove the bracket (140) and flexible clamp (130) from the "VBV CLOSED" end of fuel gear motor (40) as follows:
(a) Remove the 2 bolts (150) which attach the clamps (160) and (170) to the bracket (140).
Put the electrical cables CJ11L (VBV-A) and CJ12L (VBV-B) out of the way for the remaining removal. Leave the clamps (160) and (170) in place on the electrical cables.
(b) Remove nut (180) and bolt (120). Then, remove bracket (140) and flexible clamp (130) from the VBV fuel gear motor (40).
(2) Disconnect the 2 tube branches (20) of the U-shaped fuel drain manifold from the sliding sleeve (70) of VBV OPEN port tube (30) and VBV CLOSED port tube (10).
NOTE: You can loosen the 2 clamps which attach together the left-hand branch of the U-shaped drain manifold and the fuel line to the VBV fuel gear motor OPEN port. This will give some freedom of movement to the drain manifold, prevent unwanted stress, and help removal.
(3) Disconnect the VBV CLOSED and the VBV OPEN shroud tubes (10) and (30) from the gear motor (40). Do as follows for each shroud tube: (a) Cut and remove the lockwire which safeties together the (round and knurled) outer coupling nuts (60).
Fully loosen outer nut (60). This releases the sliding sleeve (70).
(b) Move the sliding sleeve (70) and coupling nut (60) downward. This gives access to the inner connecting nut (90).
(4) Loosen the coupling nuts:
CAUTION:
USE TWO WRENCHES TO REMOVE OR INSTALL THE TUBE COUPLING NUTS:
(a) Place a CONTAINER 5 L (1.32 USGAL) under the fuel gear motor to collect the fuel drainage. Cut the lockwire which safeties the connecting nut (90) to the gear motor nipple. Fully loosen connecting nut (90). - ONE WRENCH TO HOLD THE UNION, AND
- ONE TO LOOSEN OR TIGHTEN THE COUPLING NUT.
(b) Remove O-ring (50) from sliding sleeve (70). Move sleeve (70) fully downward and remove O-ring (80). Discard O-rings (50) and (80).
(5) Remove the bleed valve fuel gear motor (40) and the VBV stop mechanism (210), as a complete assembly, as follows:
CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE PROTECTING BOOT (PRE CFM SB 75-0010) AT THE FORWARD END OF THE BLEED VALVE FUEL GEAR MOTOR ASSEMBLY DURING REMOVAL. ONLY BLEED VALVE STOP MECHANISM WHICH INCLUDES PACKED SEALED BEARINGS, HAS NOT A PROTECTING BOOT (POST CFM SB 75-0010).
(a) Fully loosen the 8 bolts (190) which attach the assembly to the rear surface of fan frame. (b) Carefully move back the assembly, together with the VBV main flexible shaft, and remove from the fan frame.
(c) Remove the VBV main flexible shaft from the stop mechanism (210).
(d) Do the visual inspection of the VBV main flexible shaft and of the inter-connecting flexible shafts (Ref. AMM TASK 75-31-30-200-002).
(6) Remove the stop mechanism (210) from the bleed valve fuel gear motor (40) as follows:
CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE PROTECTING BOOT (PRE CFM SB 75-0010) AT THE FORWARD END OF THE BLEED VALVE FUEL GEAR MOTOR ASSEMBLY DURING REMOVAL. ONLY BLEED VALVE STOP MECHANISM WHICH INCLUDES PACKED SEALED BEARINGS, HAS NOT A PROTECTING BOOT (POST CFM SB 75-0010).
(a) Remove the 4 bolts (100) and washers (110) which attach the fuel gear motor (40) to the base plate of stop mechanism (210). Move the two items (40) and (210) apart to complete the removal of stop mechanism (210). (b) Remove the O-ring (200) from bleed valve fuel gear motor mounting diameter and discard the O-ring (200).
D. Preserve bleed valve fuel gear motor as follows :
(1) Introduce fuel system preventative (Material No.CP5066) into one port of the motor.
(2) Turn the motor shaft until fluid flows from opposite port.
(3) Install PLUG - BLANKING on orifices.
(5) Put the CAP-BLANKING on each disconnected electrical connector and receptacle.
(1) Introduce fuel system preventative (Material No.CP5066) into one port of the motor.
