Use IAE 3M14222 Electrode holder 1 off.
Install the IAE 3M14222 Electrode holder on to the spot welding machine.
Use IAE 3M14223 Universal joint electrode 1 off.
Make sure that the electrode insert with the mark "INNER" and "OUTER" (parts of the IAE 3M14223 Universal joint electrode) are installed.
Install the IAE 3M14223 Universal joint electrode on to the IAE 3M14222 Electrode holder.
Install the IAE 3M14221 Electrode guide onto the IAE 3M14220 Cross slide table.
Install the IAE 3M14209 Spot welding fixture onto the IAE 3M14221 Electrode guide.
Use IAE 3M14363 Spot welding fixture (rear) 1 off.
Install the IAE 3M14363 Spot welding fixture (rear) on to the IAE 3M14221 Electrode guide.
Apply CoMat 03-234 BRAZING FILLER TAPE to the air seal ring mating side of the honeycomb seal segment.
Use a roller or equivalent, roll tape in to honeycomb cells and remove backing.
Prepare the new honeycomb seal segments.
Align the honeycomb seal segments, refer to Figure.
Position the honeycomb seal segments on to the air seal ring.
Align the honeycomb seal segments, refer to Figure.
Position the honeycomb seal segments on to the air seal ring.
Make sure that the CoMat 03-151 HIGH TEMP. BRAZING FILLERPOWDER is applied equally around the honeycomb seal segments.
Apply CoMat 03-151 HIGH TEMP. BRAZING FILLERPOWDER to the honeycomb seal segments.
Safety the CoMat 03-151 HIGH TEMP. BRAZING FILLERPOWDER to the cells.
Apply the CoMat 03-227 WHITE STOP OFF around the edges of the air seal ring.
SUBTASK 72-50-24-310-052 Braze in the New Honeycomb Seals
NOTE
If CoMat 03-234 BRAZING FILLER TAPE is used perform Step to Step, if CoMat 03-151 HIGH TEMP. BRAZING FILLERPOWDER is used perform Step to Step.If you replace the rear honeycomb segment do not perform Step.If you replace the front honeycomb segment do not perform Step.Refer to the SPM TASK 70-11-01-300-503.
Vapor degrease
SUBTASK 72-50-24-110-074 Clean the Air Seal Ring
Use 200:1 mixture of water and CoMat 02-142 WETTING AGENT
or
1:1 mixture of CoMat 10-061 STODDARD SOLVENT and CoMat 02-143 DELETED
or
2500:1 mixture of water and CoMat 01-183 WETTING AGENT FOR ACIDCLEANER
or
1:1 mixture of CoMat 01-001 SOLVENT, DELETED and CoMat 10-061 STODDARD SOLVENT.
Prepare Fluid tank.
Remove the assembly from the Fluid tank.
Refer to TASK 70-31-07-310-501 except for the following:
No unbrazed honeycomb cells around the edges of the honeycomb segment are permitted.
