Installation Procedure

NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
  1. Install the following components to the bulkhead:
    • A new gasket (11) between the booster assembly (9) and the bulkhead
    • The booster assembly (9)
    • Secure the booster assembly with the 4 nuts (7,8,12,13).

      Tighten 

      Tighten the nuts to 13 N.m (108 in lbs).

  2. Install the clevis (3) to the operating rod.
  3. Install the following components to the clevis (3):
