INSTALLATION
Warning

CSI Nicks, dents, scratches, and tool or scuff marks within the critical characteristic area to be within acceptance limits. Injury to personnel and damage to equipment will result if forward and aft links are switched during installation. The forward and aft links look almost the same. To prevent damage to flight controls, be sure forward link is part No. 70400-08110-047, 70400-08110-053, or 70400-08110-060 and aft link is part No. 70400-08110-048, 70400-08110-054, or 70400-08110-061.
Note

Install lateral link so spacer is installed from outboard side. Spacer should contact bolthead. 1. Install replacement lateral link on lateral bellcrank. Install spacer in lateral link and bellcrank (Figure 2, Detail A).
Warning

Cleaning compound is combustible and toxic to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Wear protective gloves and goggles/face shield. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use only in well ventilated areas (or use approved respirator as determined by local safety/industrial hygiene personnel). Keep away from open flames, sparks, hot surfaces or other sources of ignition.
Caution

If resistance or binding of the retaining ball mechanism is observed when pin is actuated, do not apply corrosion preventive compound to free the mechanism. The inner core of the bolt is corroded and must be rejected. 2. Clean special self-retaining bolt (PN 7040008159104) using a cleaning cloth, WP 2012 00, Item 86, moistened with cleaning compound solvent, WP 2012 00, Item 71. a. Inspect special self-retaining bolt for evidence of corrosion in the area of retaining balls, threads, cotter pin hole, retaining pin hole in bolthead, and hole in threaded end of special self-retaining bolt. b. Visually inspect special self-retaining bolt for cracks in area of retaining balls and threads. c. Replace any special self-retaining bolt with visible corrosion or cracks. 3. Release retaining balls by holding retaining pin in. Apply corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 105, to special self-retaining bolt as follows: a. Work corrosion preventive compound through one retaining ball hole until excess is seen at opposite ball hole. Rotate bolt 180 degrees and repeat procedure. b. While working retaining pin, spray corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 105, into hole in bolthead and hole in end of special self-retaining bolt. c. Wipe excessive corrosion preventive compound from bolt using cleaning cloth, WP 2012 00, Item 86, prior to installation. d. Apply corrosion preventive compound, WP 2012 00, Item 101, to the exterior retaining ball area and threads. Figure 2 Replace Swashplate Links
Warning

CSI Verification of proper hardware installation, torque, safety installation and proof torque of special self-retaining bolts are critical characteristics.
Note

Recessed washer under bolthead first is used on all configurations. Ensure beveled side of washer is against head of bolt. Flat washer used on 70400-08200-041 and -042. QA QA 4. Install special self-retaining bolt and washers (maximum of 3 washers under bolthead) to provide correct grip length and cotter pin position. 5. Check bolt for free axial motion and that impedance feature is not restrained in part. If bolt binds or impedance feature is depressed, change washer stackup. 6. Install nut. TORQUE NUT TO 600 - 900 INCH-POUNDS.
Note

If unable to torque bolthead, use a crowfoot attachment to torque nut, without disturbing cotter pin, and without restraining bolthead. QA 7. APPLY TIGHTENING TORQUE (PROOF LOAD) OF 400 - 420 INCH-POUNDS in tightening direction. If bolt rotates adjust by adding washers (WP 1047 00) and reinstall, repeating step 6. and step 7. Install cotter pin. 8. Apply torque stripe (WP 0389 00 and TM 55-1500-345-23).
