Rod End Installation Method
Figure 1
I. When pushrods or rod ends are provided with an inspection hole, the screw must be screwed in far
enough to pass the inspection hole. This can be determined visually or by feel, inserting a piece of
wire into the inspection hole. If no hole is provided, there must be a minimum of .375 (3/8) of an
inch thread engagement.
J. When installing/adjusting rod end jamnuts, refer to Figure 1 for proper method.
K. After completion of adjustments, each jam nut must be tightened securely.
NOTE: Torque all nuts in the flight control system (including nose wheel steering). Refer to
91-10-00, Chart 2.
L. Ensure all pulley guard pins are properly installed and secured.
