TASK 72-41-00-040-002-B00 HPC Assembly - Remove The HPC Front Cases For Access To Stage 3 Through 6 (HPC Surgical Strike Procedure), Special Procedure-002
General
This TASK gives the procedure to remove the HP compressor front cases to gain access to stages 3 to 6 rotor blades (HPC Surgical strike). This procedure uses a method that does not require separation of the HP compressor module from the combustor and HP turbine modules.
If the front half casings cannot be removed using the procedure in Step then strip the module using the procedures in TASK 72-41-00-040-001-B00 and inform IAE Technical Services.
Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC. Only the primary Fig/item numbers are used. For the service bulletin alpha variants refer to the IPC.
Apply the approved CoMat 10-058 PENETRATING OIL before the removal of threaded parts and parts with an interference fit. Let the parts soak before removal.
Discard all rubber seal rings, cotter pins and keywashers removed in this procedure.
Remove and discard the CoMat 02-126 LOCKWIRE before any part is disconnected or removed.
As each item is removed it must be identified with its position on the mini-module.

Refer to Figure.
Put three dial test indicators, one on each in-rigger (details 6, 7 and 8), use the clamped area only of the in-rigger, refer to Figure.
NOTE
This instrumentation will monitor the relative movement of the HP static components and the stand.Put each dial indicator button in contact with each of the three support plates (detail 4), refer to Figure. Pre-load and zero the instrumentation.
NOTE
This instrumentation will monitor the true relative movement of the HP rotating components and the static components. This is the critical dimension to be monitored and recorded.Put three dial test indicators, spaced equally, on the IAE 1P16046 Removal/Installation fixture or IAE 1P16543 Removal/Installation fixture tooling structure so each dial indicator button contacts the rear surface of the stage 2 retaining plate slot on the stage 2 turbine hub ENGINE-STAGE 2 TURBINE HUB (72-45-31,01-011). Pre-load and zero the instrumentation.
Set the true axial displacement of the HP module cases and stage 2 HP turbine and the IAE 1R19463 Stand - Surgical strike.
Position the six dial test indicators or equivalent instrumentation measuring devices as follows.
Loosen the locknut on the tie-rod adapter (installed through the center of the HP module) refer to Figure by approximately 0.40 in. (10 mm) to allow axial movement of the static and rotating parts.
Adjust the three jacking screws (detail 12) in a clockwise direction to move the HP rear case rearwards (the rear case moves in a direction towards the top of the build stand). Make each adjustment in incremental steps of not more than 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) each time until the split casings can be released. There must not be a difference of 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) between the readings of each of the dial test indicators. After each adjustment is made check and make a record of the reading at each of the three support plates (detail 4). Make a record of the true axial movement seen on the three dial test indicators on the stage 2 HP turbine position.

CAUTION
YOU MUST MAKE A RECORD OF THE DIAL TEST INDICATOR READINGS AFTER EACH INCREMENTAL MOVEMENT MADE.
CAUTION
THE RELATIVE AXIAL MOVEMENT MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 0.160 IN. (4 MM) IN TOTAL AS MEASURED ON THE DIAL TEST INDICATORS MOUNTED ON THE IAE 1P16046 Removal/Installation fixture OR IAE 1P16543 Removal/Installation fixture AND THE REAR FACE OF THE STAGE 2 HP TURBINE DISK. IF THE MOVEMENT IS MORE THAN THIS MAXIMUM LIMIT THEN DAMAGE WILL OCCUR TO CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN THE HP MODULE.
CAUTION
THERE MUST NOT BE A DIFFERENCE OF MORE THAN 0.020 IN. (0.5 MM) BETWEEN THE READINGS OF EACH OF THE DIAL TEST INDICATORS. IF THE DIFFERENCE IS MORE THAN THIS LIMIT THEN DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO HP MODULE COMPONENTS.
CAUTION
DURING THE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE HP COMPRESSOR FRONT HALF CASES TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE HP COMPRESSOR ROTOR BLADES. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE OR MORE FORCE THAN IS NECESSARY.Release the front half split casings. If the front split casings will not release from the module then make an adjustment to the axial position of the static components relative to the rotating components. The total axial movement must not be more than 0.160 in. (4 mm). Refer to steps C. (1) (a) and (b).
Support the half casings on detail 10 half rings when the casings are released and clear of the module. Use detail 10 half rings and carefully move the casings away from the module.
Release the HP compressor front split half casings.
The module is now prepared for the necessary work in relation to the surgical strike procedure, refer to TASK 72-41-00-440-001-D00.
