1. Crack Inspection
A. At the intervals designated in Table 201, the wing attach fittings, center section and outboard wing spar caps and the
nacelle splice plates must be inspected for cracks, corrosion and damage (Refer to Figure 216). Prior to or concurrent
with this inspection, the inspection doors contained in Main Spar Inspection Provisions Kit No. 90-4063 must be
incorporated. Airplane serials LJ-552 and after, and LW-1 and after, were delivered from the factory with the equivalent of
Kit No. 90-4063 installed.
B. Kit No. 100-4002-3 (LH) or 100-4002-4 (RH) contains the parts and instructions for replacing the outboard main spar. Kit
No. 100-4002-1 contains all the parts and instructions for replacing an outboard wing spar but does not include the spar.
WARNING: A crack in the center section lower forward spar cap necessitates the replacement of all lower
forward inboard fittings, the lower forward spar cap on the center section, and both outboard
forward wing panel main spar assemblies. A crack in an outboard wing panel spar cap requires
replacement of the outboard forward spar assembly. A crack in a center section spar fitting
requires replacement of the affected fitting only. A crack in an outboard wing panel main spar
fitting necessitates replacement of the entire outboard wing panel spar assembly. Textron Aviation
Technical Support should be contacted for an operational safety evaluation anytime a crack is
found in a wing attach fitting or spar.
CAUTION: When fastener removal is required to perform an inspection, extreme caution must be exercised
during the removal procedure. Refer to Chapter 20-50-03 for fastener removal instructions.

10. Outboard Wing - Main Spar Crack and Corrosion
A. Complete the inspection of the upper and lower spar caps as described in the following Steps:
WARNING: The entire upper and lower spar cap from the wing attach fitting to the wing tip must be inspected.
NOTE: Special emphasis should be placed on airplanes that have been operated and/or stored for
extended periods in areas where the geographical location and atmospheric conditions are
conducive to corrosion.
(1) Visually inspect the exterior surfaces of the upper and lower spar caps for any buildup of the whitish, salt-like
nonmetallic substance indicative or corrosion. If any buildup of this substance is detected, the area should receive
extra attention. Wax or paint that may be trapped between the edge of the skin and the exposed portion of the spar
cap should not be interpreted as corrosion.
(2) Utilizing normal cleaning procedures, wash all exposed surfaces of the upper and lower spar caps.
(3) Visually inspect all exposed surfaces of the spar caps for paint blisters, raised areas and/or surface distortions and
cracks in metal. The exposed surface of the spar cap is extruded flat. Any of the previously noted irregularities could
indicate corrosion and must be considered suspect (Ref. Figure 209).
NOTE: Spar cap surface irregularities may be detected by sliding the fingers over the surface, by
moving a straightedge over the surface or by sighting down the length of the spar cap.
(4) If wing main spar replacement becomes necessary, Kit No. 100-4002-3S should be ordered for LH spar replacement
and/or Kit No. 100-4002-4S for RH spar replacement. Kit No. 100-4002-1S provides all parts and instructions
necessary for spar replacement but does not include the spar. If unusual conditions are noted which cannot be
resolved locally, contact Textron Aviation Technical Support for consultation.
11. Wing Bolt, Nut and Spar Fitting
A. Inspection
WARNING: All eight wing attach bolts must be removed and each of the wing attach fittings inspected. The
wing bolts and nuts are life-limited parts and must be replaced in compliance with the time limits
designated in Table 201. Render unserviceable all components removed in compliance with their
life limit. ew wing attach components must be obtained only from Textron Aviation or Textron
Aviation approved source.
(1) Before removing any of the wing attach bolts, ensure that the wing is properly supported in a manner which prevents
wing shifting. Draw a line across each pair of fittings with a grease pencil to aid wing alignment, if required.

57-13-01-2 (Rev D2)

CAUTION: Do not scribe or scratch the fittings.

(2) If (while using hand pressure only) wing attach bolt binding occurs, upon disengagement or installation, loosen the
remaining three wing attach bolts and position the wing in a manner that releases binding of the bolt. If the wing attach
fittings are separated or repositioned, the aluminum washers between the upper wing attach fittings must be replaced
with new washers. Replacement of these washers will not be required if the wing attach bolts can be removed one at
a time. The preload indicating washer assembly at the lower forward attach point must be replaced with a new
assembly each time the wing bolt at this point is loosened or removed.
NOTE: Ensure that the 50-105011 washer shown in Figure 211, the 90-110032-1 washer shown in
Figure 212, Figure 214 and Figure 215 and the 95-110025-1 washer shown in Figure 213 have a
fully complete radius with no sharp edges which could mark the spar fittings. Replace any
washers which exhibit an incomplete radius or sharp edges.
(3) Replace all placards which were removed after the WING FITTING INSPECTION and WING BOLT, NUT AND SPAR
FITTING INSPECTION is completed.
B. Lower Forward Wing Bolt, Nut and Fitting Inspection
(1) Remove each lower forward wing attach bolt, preload indicating washer assembly and nut. Using a nonmetallic brush,
thoroughly clean the bolt, nut and washers with solvent (2 or 3, Table 208, 91-00-00).
(2) If the wing attach bolts and nuts do not exceed their specified life limit as designated in Table 201, visually inspect
them with a 10-power or stronger magnifying glass for cracks and mechanical damage. Scratches and markings in
the cadmium plating, and or localized deterioration of the cadmium plating is not reason to reject a bolt. The cadmium
plating may be discolored and may have areas exhibiting a rubbed or polished appearance, usually resulting from the
installation procedure. If cracks or mechanical damage is found on any component, replace the affected component.
(3) Fluorescent liquid penetrant inspect (as directed in Chapter 20-00-00) each inconel wing bolt and nut. If the bolts and
nuts prove to be free of all damage, they may be reused after cleaning.
(4) Eddy current inspect the exposed spar fittings, focusing extra attention at the washer-seat and bolt-bore area. If
scoring, corrosion pitting, crack indications, or washer impressions are found in these areas, contact Textron Aviation
Technical Support for consultation.
(a) Perform CALIBRATION (STANDARDIZATION) procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(b) Perform SURFACE INSPECTION WING SPAR FITTINGS procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(c) Perform INDICATION EVALUATION FOR SURFACE INSPECTION procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(5) Coat the spar fitting bolt-bores and washer/nut-bearing faces, the complete bolt, nut and new preload indicating
washer assembly with corrosion preventive compound (12, Table 203, 91-00-00).
WARNING: The components of the preload indicating washer assembly constitute a matched set and its
components must not be interchanged with any other preload indicating washer assembly. It
is essential that the radii used outside diameter of the flat washer portion of the preload
indicating washer assembly be placed with the radius toward the fitting washer seat. Refer to
Figure 211 for proper orientation.
(6) Install a wing attach bolt, new preload indicating washer assembly and nut into the wing fitting.
(7) DO NOT TIGHTEN THE LOWER FORWARD WING ATTACH BOLT AT THIS TIME. Temporarily snug the bolt down
to approximately 1200 inch-pounds.
C. Upper Forward, Upper and Lower Rear Wing Bolt, Nut and Fitting Inspection
(1) Ensure that the wing is properly supported for maintenance. Remove only one wing bolt at a time for inspection.
Perform the inspection as detailed in this section, then replace and torque the bolt to the value specified in the
appropriate illustration before removing another bolt.
(2) With the wing properly supported, remove an upper forward, upper rear or lower rear wing attach bolt, nut and
washer. When a fastener is loosened, ensure that the radius on the outer circumference of each washer adjacent to
the wing attach fitting in the outer wing panel and in the wing center section is facing the radius in the end of the fitting
recess (does not apply to MS20002 or NAS143 washers). If the radius is not orientated as shown in the applicable
illustration, contact Textron Aviation Technical Support for consultation. If the washers are installed correctly, proceed
with the remaining Steps.
(3) Eddy current inspect the exposed spar fittings, focusing extra attention at the washer-seat and bolt-bore area. If

scoring, corrosion pitting, crack indications, or washer impressions are found in these areas, contact Textron Aviation
Technical Support for consultation.
(a) Perform CALIBRATION (STANDARDIZATION) procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(b) Perform SURFACE INSPECTION WING SPAR FITTINGS procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(c) Perform INDICATION EVALUATION FOR SURFACE INSPECTION procedure (Ref. Chapter 20-00-00).
(4) If the bolts and nuts do not exceed their life limit as designated in Table 201, thoroughly clean the bolt, nut and
washers with solvent (2 or 3, Table 208, 91-00-00) and inspect for cracks and mechanical damage with a 10-power
or stronger magnifying glass. If mechanical damage or cracks are found, replace the affected component. Scratches
and markings in the cadmium plating, and or localized deterioration of the cadmium plating is not reason to reject a
bolt. The cadmium plating may be discolored and may have areas exhibiting a rubbed or polished appearance,
usually resulting from the installation procedure. If the components are acceptable after the visual inspection, perform
a fluorescent liquid penetrant inspection on each of the bolts and nuts (see Chapter 20-00-00). If the bolts and nuts
are free of cracks and mechanical damage, they may be reused after cleaning.
(5) Coat the spar fittings, bolt-bore and washer nut bearing face, the complete bolt, washer and nut with corrosion
preventive compound (12, Table 203, 91-00-00).
(6) Install the wing attach bolt, washers and nut, and torque the nut to the torque value specified in the applicable
illustration (Ref. Figure 212,, Figure 213,, Figure 214, or Figure 215).
(7) After the nut is properly torqued, coat the exposed threads of the wing bolt with corrosion preventive compound (12,
Table 203, 91-00-00).
WARNING: Prior to installing the wing bolt covers, ensure that the drain holes in the upper forward and aft
fittings are free of obstructions.
CAUTION: Ensure that the wing bolt wrench does not bottom out against the wing fitting. Wrench contact
with the fitting could result in erroneous torque readings and fitting damage.
D. Lower Forward Wing Bolt Tightening Procedure
WARNING: The lower forward wing attach bolt which was not tightened after inspection must be tightened at
this time. Remove any wing supports before tightening this bolt.
(1) Insert the pin on the tool shown in Figure 210 into one of the holes in the outer ring of the preload indicating washer
assembly and rotate the ring back and forth while tightening the nut. The bolt is tight when the outer ring of the preload
indicating washer assembly can no longer be turned using 30 ± 5 pounds of tangential force applied to the ring as
shown in Figure 210. Do not tighten the nut beyond this point.
CAUTION: Ensure that the wing bolt wrench does not bottom out against the wing fitting. Wrench contact
with the fitting could result in erroneous torque readings and fitting damage.
(2) After completing the tightening procedure on the lower forward bolt, coat the exposed threads which protrude through
the nut with corrosion preventive compound (12, Table 203, 91-00-00).
12. Wing Bolt Maintenance
A. At the first scheduled airplane inspection (as designated by the King Air 90 Series Maintenance Manual) after the bolts
have been loosened and retorqued or after initial installation, check the wing bolts for proper torque as stated in the
illustration for the specific location (Ref. Figures 212, Figure 213, Figure 214 or Figure 215).
B. Check the preload indicating washer at the lower forward attach point as shown in Figure 210 and 211.
C. Concurrent with the above Step and annually thereafter, coat the exposed bolt threads which protrude through the nuts with
corrosion preventive compound (12, Table 203, 91-00-00).
WARNING: Prior to installing the fitting covers, ensure that the drain holes in the upper forward and upper aft
attach fittings are unobstructed and can drain freely.
