CAUTION
CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO DAMAGE THE MATING SURFACES OR BUNGS AT THE JUNCTION BETWEEN SEALS.Carefully remove the sealant from the bungs and the ends of seals in order to accommodate the replacement "U" seal.
Carefully remove all remaining traces of sealant using CoMat 05-016 GARNET PAPER, 80-GRIT.
Clean mating surfaces at the ends of the side seals and bungs using CoMat 02-099 LINT-FREE CLOTH moistened with CoMat 01-031 ACETONE (CH3)2CO.
SUBTASK 72-38-25-350-002 Remove Sealant from "U" Seal and Bungs
Apply sealant to the ends of the replacement ARM1317 using CoMat 08-013 COLD CURING SILICONE COMPOUND (Silcoset 152) per SPM TASK 70-36-02-360-501, SUBTASK 70-36-02-360-020.
Apply sealant to the connecting end of the side seals and bungs using CoMat 08-013 COLD CURING SILICONE COMPOUND (Silcoset 152) per SPM TASK 70-36-02-360-501, SUBTASK 70-36-02-360-020.
Attach the "U" seal to the side seals over the bungs ensuring a neat and flush fit is achieved.
The maximum separation between seal ends must be less than 0.059 in (1.50 mm).
NOTE
Ensure the side seals fit flush with the "U" seal.Position "U" seals in place along the panel.
Remove any excess sealant compound from the area of the joints using CoMat 02-099 LINT-FREE CLOTH moistened with CoMat 01-031 ACETONE (CH3)2CO.
SUBTASK 72-38-25-350-003 Fit Replacement "U" Seal
Fit replacement 6A7934 into position on the bifurcation panel and over the "U" seal lip.
Ensure that the replacement clip is pushed down firmly and clip tang engages into the tang slot.
Tang will audibly click as it engages.
You must hear each of the 5 tangs click as they engage.
Remove any excess sealant compound from the area of repair using CoMat 02-099 LINT-FREE CLOTH moistened with CoMat 01-031 ACETONE (CH3)2CO.
Silicone must be smooth and flush with the contour of the seal and fill the separation between the "U" and side seals.
Allow the silicone compound to cure for 12 hours at 61°F (16°C).
NOTE
It is ok to handle the part after 2 hours, however the silicone will not be fully cured for 12 hours and no load should be applied during that time.
SUBTASK 72-38-25-350-005 Fit Replacement Seal Clip
Visually examine the silicone compound on the repair areas. No holes or splits should be seen at the joints. Repair areas must be smooth and flush with the seal contour.
Ensure there are no open gas paths at joint between side seals and "U" seal. If any crack or separation is seen then the repair should be repeated.
Dimensionally examine gap at the joints between the "U" seal and side seals ends. Joint gap must not exceed 0.059 in (1.50 mm).
SUBTASK 72-38-25-220-001 Visual and Dimensional Inspection of the Repair Areas
Mark the part by vibropeening "VRS9669" in the part marking area per SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501, SUBTASK 70-09-00-400-001.
