B. Do a visual inspection of the "J" Ring and outer flange as follows:
INSPECT/CHECK
MAXIMUM SERVICEABLE LIMITS
REMARKS
1.Inspect the "J" ring for:


A.Damage

If damage is less than the check tool length, refer to 4.C., "J" Ring Check.
If damage is more than the check tool length, remove the Adaptor Ring Assembly (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001) and after in shop refer to CMM 783236, Repair n°52.
2.Inspect the outer flange for:


A.Damage

If damage is less than the check tool length, refer to 4.D., Outer Flange Check.
If damage is more than the check tool length, remove the Adaptor Ring Assembly (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001) and after in shop refer to ESM 710001.
Subtask 78-36-42-220-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
C. "J" Ring" Check
   (1) Damage less than the check tool length.
NOTE: Only the damages under check tool length can be checked with check tool. A "V" outer flange clear area is necessary at each extremity of the check tool.
     (a) Check the "V" Blade.
       1 Place the "J" Ring Check Tool HIX3010-0 CHECK TOOL - J-RING onto the "V" Blade of the "J" Ring.
       2 Check the gap between the tool and the forward face of the "V" blade using 0.010 in. (0.250 mm) thickness gauge. If it is greater than 0.010 in. (0.250 mm) replace the "J" Ring CMM 783236.
       3 Check the gap between the tool and the rear face of the "V" blade using 0.005 in. (0.125 mm) thickness gauge. If it is greater than 0.005 in. (0.125 mm) replace the "J" Ring CMM 783236.
Subtask 78-36-42-220-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
D. Outer Flange Check
   (1) Damage less than the check tool length.
NOTE: Only the damages under check tool length can be checked with check tool. A "V" groove clear area is necessary at each extremity of the check tool.
     (a) Place the Outer Flange Check Tool HIX3011-0 CHECK TOOL-OUTER FLANGE into the "V" groove of the outer flange.
       1 Check the gap between the tool and the forward face of the "V" groove using 0.010 in. (0.250 mm) thickness gauge. If it is greater than 0.010 in. (0.250 mm), replace the adapter ring outer flange (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001).
NOTE: If more than three outer flanges are affected by half thrust reverser, replace the five outer flanges (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001).
       2 Check the gap between the tool and the rear face of the "V" groove using 0.005 in. (0.125 mm) thickness gauge. If it is greater than 0.005 in. (0.125 mm) replace the adapter ring outer flange (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001), or repair the adapter ring outer flange ESM 710001.
NOTE: If more than three outer flanges are affected by half thrust reverser, replace the five outer flanges (Ref. AMM TASK 78-36-42-000-001).
