 Then prepare the horizontal stabilizer mounting cap. First make a small mark about 1.5
mm down in the top mounting hole for securing the plastic cap in place, it only needs to
be about 1mm deep.
 Now grease the chamber where the locking mechanism fits
 Place the washer in the hole and then the spring, followed by the big bolt assembly. Note
that the ends of the locking circlip need to be ground down to fit properly
 Fit the circlip and check the operation of the bolt so it will lock when tightened.
 Unscrew the main mounting bracket on the horizontal stabilizer and check both bolts.
Then secure them with Loctite 262 and reassemble, checking the position pin for
tightness.
 Do not put tools on the pin side because if it becomes damaged you will not be able to fit
the elevator unit to the aircraft.
