B. Installation
(Ref. Figure 403)
NOTE: This task is typical for the LH or RH
forward saddle assemblies.
Consumable Materials
(Ref. CSP−SPM)
Item Nomenclature
C211 Sealing Compound, Corrosion Inhibitive
(1). Install countersunk washers (12), the
end of jumper (13), flat washers (14),
bolts (15), and forward saddle (16) on
forward fuselage fitting (6).
(a). Torque bolts (15) 130 to 180 in-lb
(14.69 to 20.34 Nm) more than the
run-on torque (ref. CSP-SPM,
Section 20-10-10).
Sealing Compound (C211)
(2). Environmentally seal the connection of
jumper (13) and the seam between
forward saddle (16), forward fuselage
fitting (6), and forward crosstube (5)
with sealing compound (C211) (ref.
CSP-SPM, Section 20-50-00).
6. Landing Gear Saddle Pads
A. Removal
(Ref. Figure 403)
NOTE: This task is typical at 8 locations.
(1). To remove a saddle pad (21) from a
fuselage fitting (4, 6), remove landing
gear assembly (1) (ref. Procedure 3.A.).
(2). To remove a saddle pad (21) from a aft
saddle (20) or forward saddle (16),
remove the applicable saddle (ref.
Procedure 4.A. or Procedure 5.A.,
respectively).
(3). Remove saddle pad (21) from fuselage
fitting (4, 6) or saddle (16, 20).
(4). Remove remaining epoxy adhesive
(C411) or instant adhesive (C444).
