B. Installation of the New Seal Strip
(1) Clean the faying surfaces of the metal. Use solvent (Material No.V01-393D) .
(2) Lightly abrade the pre-cleaned metal surface using waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper (Material No.V05-081) . Refer to NSRM 543000 general repairs.
(3) Remove any remaining sealant and contamination using solvent (Material No.V01-393D) or solvent (Material No.V01-438) and a lint free cloth (Material No.V02-099) .
(4) Lightly abrade the faying surface of the seal strips with waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper (Material No.V05-081) . Refer to V2500 NSRM 543000 general repairs.
(5) Clean the faying surface of the new seal strips with solvent (Material No.V01-393D) or solvent (Material No.V01-438) and a lint free cloth (Material No.V02-099) . Wipe the surface before the solvent becomes dry.
(6) Mix and prepare adhesive (Material No.V08-021) or adhesive (Material No.V08-104) . Refer to manufacturer's instructions.
(7) Use the adhesive (Material No.V08-021) or adhesive (Material No.V08-104) to bond the three new seal strips onto the thrust recovery nozzle assembly. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
