4. Safe Handling of Paints and Chemicals

A. Always use caution when handling or being exposed to paints and/or chemicals
during propeller overhaul and maintenance procedures.

B. Before using paint or chemicals, always read the manufacturer’s label on the
container and follow specified instructions and procedures for storage, preparation,
mixing, and application.

C. Refer to the product’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed information
about physical properties, health, and physical hazards of any chemical.

5. Component Life

WARNING: Certain propeller components used in non-aviation applications are


marked with different part numbers to distinguish them from components
used in aviation applications. Do not alter the part numbers shown on
parts designated for non-aviation applications or otherwise apply those
parts for use on aviation applications.

A. Component Life
(1) Certain components, or in some cases an entire propeller, may be life limited.
(a) It is a regulatory requirement that a record of the total time in service be
maintained for all life limited parts.
(2) Component life is expressed in terms of hours of service (Time Since New, TSN)
and in terms of hours of service since overhaul (Time Since Overhaul, TSO).
NOTE: TSN/TSO is considered as the time accumulated between rotation
and landing (i.e. flight time).
(3) Both TSN/TSO are necessary in defining the life of the component. Some parts
are "life limited," which means that they must be replaced after a specified
period of use (TSN).
(4) When a component or assembly undergoes an overhaul, the TSO is returned to
zero hours.
(a) Time Since New (TSN) can never be returned to zero.
(b) Repair without overhaul does not affect TSO or TSN.
(5) Time Since New (TSN) and Time since Overhaul (TSO) records must be
maintained in the propeller logbook.

Vol. 4, Page 7
INTRODUCTION Rev. 29 Jul/15
STANDARD PRACTICES MANUAL 202A
VOLUME 4

(6) Blades and hubs are sometimes replaced while in service or at overhaul.
(a) Maintaining separate TSN and TSO histories for a replacement hub or
blade is required.
(b) Other propeller components do not require time tracking unless
specified in Hartzell Propeller Inc. service publications or by regulatory
requirements.
(c) Hub replacement
1 If the hub is replaced, the replacement hub serial number must be
recorded (the entry signed and dated) in the propeller logbook.
2 The propeller will be identified by the serial number of the
replacement hub.
NOTE: Propeller assembly serial numbers are impression stamped
on the hub. For stamping information, refer to the Parts
Identification and Marking chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Standard Practices Manual 202A (61-01-02).
3 The TSO and TSN of the replacement hub must be recorded and
maintained in the propeller logbook.
4 The TSN and TSO of the remaining propeller components that are
required to be tracked as defined above, are not affected by the hub
replacement and must be maintained separately.

6. Propeller Critical Parts

A. Propeller Critical Parts


(1) Procedures in this manual may involve Propeller Critical Parts (PCP).
(a) These procedures have been substantiated based on Engineering
analysis that expects this product will be operated and maintained using
the procedures and inspections provided in the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness (ICA) for this product.
(b) Refer to the Illustrated Parts List chapter of the applicable propeller
Overhaul manual for the identification of specific Propeller Critical Parts.
(2) Numerous propeller system parts can produce an aircraft Major or Hazardous
effect, even though those parts may not be considered as Propeller Critical
Parts.
(a) The operating and maintenance procedures and inspections
provided in the ICA for this product are, therefore, expected to be
accomplished for all propeller system parts.

2. Cleaning

CAUTION: INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION INVOLVE


PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATED
PARTS LIST CHAPTER OF THE APPLICABLE OVERHAUL
MANUAL(S) FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC PROPELLER
CRITICAL PARTS.
Refer to the Cleaning chapter of Hartzell Propeller Inc. Standard Practices Manual 202A
(61-01-02), Volume 1, for steel hub cleaning procedures.

A. After cleaning and before inspection (assuming the pilot tubes do not require
removal), it is desirable to polish the pilot tube OD by hand (240 grit or finer polishing
compound) to remove minor imperfections.

B. If pilot tubes require removal, additional cleaning of hub pilot tube bores is required
after pilot tube removal.

C. If pilot tubes do not require removal, perform as thorough cleaning as possible (use
"bottle scrubber" or similar brush) on the inside of the hub pilot bores because a
corrosion preventative will be added later, before completion of overhaul.

D. Apply an interim corrosion preventative lubricant CM108 only if the time between
cleaning to the time for inspection and rework is greater than eight hours.

3. Disassembly
NOTE: This manual assumes that the propeller has been disassembled per
applicable overhaul manual and addresses only the hub unit.

H. Pilot Tube Removal

CAUTION: INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION INVOLVE


PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATED
PARTS LIST CHAPTER OF THE APPLICABLE OVERHAUL
MANUAL(S) FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS.
Pilot tube removal is required only if a part fails to meet inspection and rework
criteria or if specifically required by a Hartzell Propeller Inc. Publication
(Manual or Service Bulletin) or Airworthiness Directive. Refer to the section
Required Inspections/Dimensional Checks, in this chapter, to determine if pilot tube
removal is required.
The normal removal procedure requires clamping of the pilot tube while a highly
loaded rod, positioned through the pilot tube, contacts the inner hub pilot tube
bore to force the hub from the pilot tube. Pilot tubes are damaged during removal
and must be retired. This method creates a relatively high tensile load on the hub
arm. The following procedure supersedes all previous pilot tube removal
procedures.
(1) Pilot Tube Removal - Refer to Figure 1-2
The pilot tube removal procedure limits a maximum tensile force of 50,000
pounds (25 tons [222,400 N]) on the hub arm during pilot tube removal. If
the maximum removal force of 25 tons is unable to remove the pilot tube, refer
to paragraph 3.H.(2) Pilot Tube Break-Away.
NOTE: To adequately grip the pilot tube, localized arc welding of the
pilot tube is acceptable. Precautions (quality control procedures)
must be taken to prevent excessive heat or arcing damage to the

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCESSIVELY HEAT THE HUB TO


FACILITATE PILOT TUBE REMOVAL. PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO THE HUB FORGING MAY RESULT, RENDERING IT
UNAIRWORTHY.
(a) Place the fixture TE53 on the table of the hydraulic press bench.
(b) Install the hub in the fixture with the pilot tube facing upward.
(c) Clamp the toothed inserts of the fixture onto the pilot tube outer diameter.
(d) Place the rod TE107 into the hydraulic press ram.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LOAD OF 25 TONS. ANY HUB


EXPOSED TO GREATER THAN 25 TONS TENSILE LOAD
MUST BE RETIRED.
NOTE: The hydraulic press must have a calibrated gauge so that the load
can be calculated to within + 1000 pounds.
(e) Hydraulically extend the rod TE107 into the pilot tube until it contacts the
base of the internal hub bore. Apply hydraulic pressure until the hub
pushes
away from the pilot tube.
NOTE: Heating or cooling of parts to facilitate removal is acceptable
within maximum temperature limits (Refer to the Special
Inspections chapter in this manual for temperature limits).
Use of a torch or similar uncontrolled method of applying heat
is NOT authorized because of possibly exceeding maximum
allowable temperatures in localized areas. Use of "dry ice" on
the pilot tube in conjunction with a moderately warm hub may
help facilitate removal; however, there is no established data to
indicate the amount of benefit obtained from such a procedure.
Also, note that heating or cooling of parts is authorized during
pilot tube removal, but NOT authorized during pilot tube
installation.
(f) If the pilot tube does not pull from the hub upon reaching the maximum
allowable pressure of 50,000 pounds (25 tons [222,400 N]), refer to Pilot
Tube Break-Away procedure and repeat removal procedure.
NOTE: If after applying the Pilot Tube Break-Away procedure and
repeating Pilot Tube Removal, the pilot tube does not pull from
the hub, return the hub/pilot tube to the Hartzell Propeller Inc.
Service Center for possible removal.
(g) Continue to extend the rod until the pilot tube is completely removed from
the hub.
(h) Release the hydraulic pressure and remove the hub from the fixture.

(2) Pilot Tube Break-Away - Refer to Figure 1-3


Some pilot tubes may require a force greater than 25 tons (50,000 pounds
[222,400 N]) to remove the pilot tube. In this situation, the Pilot Tube Break-
Away procedure below provides for an inward load of up to 100,000 pounds
(50 tons [444,800 N]) (compressive load) on the hub arm to "break-away" the
pilot tube, after which the normal removal process, Pilot Tube Removal, is
repeated. Once the break-away resistance is overcome, experience has shown
that a much lower tensile load is required for removal. Pilot Tube Break-Away is
optional, required only if the maximum removal force of 25 tons (50,000 pounds
[222,400 N]) is unable to remove the pilot tube.
(a) Place the fixture TE52 on the table of a 50 ton (100,000 pound
[444,800 N]) press.
(b) Install the hub unit in the fixture. Rotate the hub so that the pilot tube is
facing upward.
(c) Place the stop sleeve TE311 over the pilot tube until the stop sleeve
rests against the hub arm. The stop sleeve is designed to set the correct
distance the pilot tube will be allowed to be pushed into the hub arm
0.06 inch (1.5 mm).
NOTE: The stop sleeve TE311 is similar to the stop sleeve TE241 that
is used for pilot tube installation. The stop sleeve TE311 is
0.06 inch (1.5 mm) shorter than the installation stop sleeve
TE241 and is to be used only for the Pilot Tube Break-Away
method.
(d) Visually align the hub arm, pilot tube and cylinder.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LOAD OF 50 TONS


(100,000 POUNDS [444,800 N]). ANY HUB EXPOSED TO
GREATER THAN 50 TONS (100,000 POUNDS [444,800 N])
COMPRESSIVE LOAD IS TO BE RETIRED.
(e) Slowly apply hydraulic pressure until the pilot tube breaks away from the
hub. There will be a distinct noise when the pilot tube breaks-away. Do not
exceed a maximum pressure of 50 tons (100,000 pounds [444,800 N]).
NOTE: If the pilot tube does not break away upon reaching the
maximum allowable pressure of 50 tons (100,000 pounds
[444,800 N]), contact Hartzell Propeller Inc. Product Support
Department for additional information.
(f) After the pilot tube breaks away, release the hydraulic pressure to retract
the cylinder. Repeat the Pilot Tube Removal procedure to remove the pilot
tube.

A. Hub Unit Inspection


CAUTION: INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION INVOLVE
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS. REFER TO THE ILLUSTRATED
PARTS LIST CHAPTER OF THE APPLICABLE OVERHAUL
MANUAL(S) FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC
PROPELLER CRITICAL PARTS.
NOTE: Refer to Table 1-8 for Acceptance Criteria and Rework Limits.
(1) Perform a visual inspection and dimensional check of the hub unit as specified
in Table 1-8. Identify any potential “stress risers” such as gouges, tool marks,
or corrosion within the cylindrical portion of the bore. Active corrosion must be
removed. Evaluate pitting as a result of corrosion, per Table 1-8.
(2) Anytime a pilot tube is removed, visual, dimensional, and magnetic particle
inspection of the hub pilot tube bore is required. Pay particular attention to the
area at the inboard end of the pilot tube.
(3) Each visual inspection and dimensional check of the hub has an acceptance
criteria that specifies a defined limit of defect that is considered serviceable.
The item does not require any rework if the defect falls within this category.
(4) Any hub defect that exceeds the limits specified in the acceptance criteria
may be reworked within the limits specified in Rework Limits, before return to
service. After a part has been reworked, a visual inspection and dimensional
check of the reworked area must be performed. The final reworked part cannot
exceed the acceptance criteria limits specified in Table 1-8.
(5) When a hub has been reworked to its maximum rework limits, and contains a
defect beyond the limits allowed in Table 1-8, the hub must be retired. Refer to
Parts Retirement Procedures in this manual.
(6) All steel hubs are required to be magnetic particle inspected at overhaul. Hub
surface abnormalities must be reworked before conducting a magnetic particle
inspection. A magnetic particle inspection must be conducted after any hub
surface rework.
(7) If a pilot tube is replaced during overhaul, two separate magnetic particle
inspections are required:
(a) Inspect the internal hub pilot tube bore after the pilot tube is removed.
(b) Inspect for possible cracks in the hub arm flange around the hub/pilot tube
joint after a new pilot tube is installed.


Vol. 4, Page 1-19

(8) Steel hubs are required to be reshot peened at overhaul if they meet the
following criteria:
(a) If any of the exterior shot peened surface of the hub has wear exceeding
the depth of the shot peen pebble grain, the hub must be reshot peened.
(b) If the exterior shot peened surfaces have damage or repairs exceeding
the depth of the shot peen pebble grain, reshot peening of the hub exterior
is required.
(9) All steel hubs are required to be re-plated at overhaul. Plating must be
performed in accordance with the Cadmium Replating section of this manual.

(1) Perform inspection in accordance with the Magnetic Particle Inspection chapter,
in this manual.
(2) Perform a magnetic particle inspection of the entire hub and pilot tubes (if
installed) to detect defects that could not be detected visually.
(3) For steel hub inspection additional requirements are as follows:
(a) Use wet continuous method with ampere setting of 3000 to 5000 amps
with 1/2 to 1 second time delays.
(b) Magnetize the hub using circular magnetization ("head shot"). Rotate
the hub on a central conductor rod and perform magnetization at several
points (at least one "shot" per blade arm) to ensure full magnetization.
Perform an inspection of all areas of the hub.
(c) Magnetize the hub using longitudinal magnetization ("coil shot"). ­Perform
an inspection of all areas of the hub.
(d) Upon completion, thoroughly demagnetize all areas of the hub.

(4) Inspection Area


(a) Perform magnetic particle inspection on all hub external surfaces,
including flange surfaces (mounting and blade arm), engine shaft spline
(where applicable), hub center bore, and blade arm.
(b) If magnetic particle inspection is performed with the pilot tube installed,
inspect external surfaces of the hub arm and pilot tube. Inspection of the
internal pilot tube surfaces and internal hub pilot tube bore is not required.
(c) If magnetic particle inspection is performed with the pilot tube removed,
pay particular attention to the area 0.2 to 1.5 inches (5 to 38 mm) from the
bottom of the hub arm bore (the area near the end of the pilot tube, when
installed). Look for circumferential, linear crack indications, as short as
0.060 inch (1.52 mm) in length.
(5) Submit a report to Hartzell Propeller Inc. for any crack indications found during
magnetic particle inspection.

WARNING: ADHESIVES AND SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC


TO THE SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND
EYE PROTECTION ARE REQUIRED. AVOID PROLONGED
CONTACT AND BREATHING OF VAPORS. USE SOLVENT
RESISTANT GLOVES TO MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT AND
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR EYE PROTECTION. USE
IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SPARKS AND
FLAME. READ AND OBSERVE ALL WARNING LABELS.
(a) Using a solvent, clean the flange surface as necessary and lightly polish
with 400 grit (or finer) sandpaper or steel wool.
NOTE: Brown stains, indicative of fretting corrosion, are an indication
of movement or "flexing" between the flange surfaces. If there
is any evidence of fretting, take extra care in cleaning and
evaluating the flange surfaces.
(b) After cleaning, visually inspect the flange surfaces for pitting or fretting
(see Figure 1-4). If propeller hub indications exceed 0.0015 inch (0.0381
mm) depth, flange rework is required per Paragraph 4.C.2.(f).
(c) Although fretting indications are easy to see, determination of the
maximum depth of fretting may be difficult to evaluate. If any fretting or
other surface degradation is observed, depth measurement is necessary.
Fretting is typically most severe near the inside diameter of the flange
and gradually diminishes toward the outside diameter (see Figure 1-4).
Measurement must be made as close as practical to the inside diameter of
the flange.
(d) Use a flatness gauge TE321 or equivalent, to inspect flanges. Hold the
flat portion of the tool on a smooth area of the flange to "zero" the dial
indicator. Hold the tool against a smooth (or outboard) area of the flange
while measuring suspect areas (see Figure 1-4).
NOTE: During investigation of recent bolt failures, several of the hubs
were noted to have a deformation (protrusion) around the hub
bolt holes and dowel pin holes. Such deformation is not allowed.
(e) Slide a metal "straight edge" over the hub flange surface to visually check
for any roughness or deformation (make two passes, 90 degrees from
each other). No cracks, deformation or protrusions are allowed. The flange
surface must be flat. If any deformation or protrusions around bolt holes
or dowel pin holes are observed, contact Hartzell Propeller Inc. Product
Support Department for assistance. Hub rework or replacement will be
required before return to service.

(f) Rework of Propeller Mounting Flange: If pits exceed 0.0015 inch


(0.0381 mm) depth on the mounting flange surface or surface deformation
(protrusions), the hub must be returned to the Hartzell Propeller Inc.
factory (or other Hartzell Propeller Inc. approved facility) for repair.
Factory rework will consist of flange resurfacing to remove pitting, and
shot peening to retard the further occurrence of pitting. Minimum allowable
flange thickness is 0.482 inch (12.24 mm).

(2) Remove all corrosion, scratches, gouges, and pitting defects:


(a) Defects may be removed by grinding with a small hand-held grinder,
280-grit sanding drum, or equivalent.
(b) Localized glass bead cleaning is an acceptable substitute to repair very
light defects (0.002 inch [0.050 mm] depth or less).
(c) Use caution when removing defects from the hub surface, as the hub unit
has been shot peened to improve the fatigue strength. Shot peen marks
may appear as tooling marks and should not be removed.
(3) Polish (320-grit or finer) the area that has been reworked with a grinder.
(a) Polish out any grinding marks or blemishes.
(b) Glass bead cleaning is an acceptable substitute for polishing.
(4) After polishing, reinspect the area (magnetic particle inspection) for any
remaining defects. If the magnetic particle inspection reveals that additional
rework is necessary, rework then reinspect.
(5) Ensure the reworked area complies with the Acceptance Criteria before the hub

(1) Use 3M Scotch Brite® pad (or equivalent nonmetallic abrasive pad) attached to
the end of a hand-held air drill to remove light corrosion and foreign matter in
hub bores.
(2) Remove any gouges, tool marks that have sharp edges, or corrosion present
by using a hone or small flexible 80-grit (or finer) “cross patch” sanding disc
with hand-held air drill.
(3) If an 80-grit or other coarse grit is used, additional sanding with fine grit
(240-grit or finer) followed by 3M Scotch Brite® pad is necessary to blend
sanding marks.
(4) The finished result must be free of stress risers, particularly in the area
specified in Table 1-8. Any conditions within the reworked area that cannot be
removed by the above methods are cause for either reboring of the hub pilot
tube bore or hub retirement.
(5) Post Rework Inspections
(a) Hub Arm Pilot Tube Bore Measurements
1 Measure and record the inside diameter of each hub arm bore in the
area of pilot tube contact. Measure at the three locations specified in
Figure 1-5. Each of the three measurements must be within
0.002 inch (0.050 mm) of each other, otherwise additional rework
of the bore is required to establish reasonably uniform diameters
throughout the hole. Record measurements for later use in the
Selection of Pilot Tube section of this chapter.
2 If a three-point micrometer is used, one measurement at each
specified location is satisfactory. Three-point micrometers are
preferred.
3 If a two-point micrometer is used, take two diameter measurements,
90 degrees apart at each location.
(b) Conduct a magnetic particle inspection of pilot tube bores. If the magnetic
particle inspection reveals that additional rework is necessary, re-inspect
after rework is performed.

(1) In addition to the inspection/rework requirements stated in this section, all "V"
shank model propellers can be upgraded to "MV" shank model propellers.
(a) This upgrade consists of installing blades with the "MV" shank details,
replacing the C-3-( ) clamps with D-6831-( ) clamps, and replacing the
A-47-1 clamp gaskets with A-6871-1 clamp gaskets.
(b) All other parts remain the same.
(c) All parts are subject to overhaul requirements.
(2) Re-identify Hub
(a) Remove the entire existing propeller model number using a blunt metal
stamp to obliterate the numbers.
1 The TC numbers for the "MV" model propellers are the same as for
the "V" model propellers and therefore do not require modification.
(b) Using a stamp with round-bottom numbers, stamp the new model number
below the model number that was obliterated. The new model numbers
consist of the existing "V" propeller model number with the characters
"MV" replacing the "V".
NOTE: Example: HC-A3VK-2D becomes HC-A3MVK-2D.

by the masking material and that those areas are free from tape residue.
(e) Permit paint to dry for a minimum of eight (8) hours before assembly.

6. Reassembly

NOTE 1: Older design propellers use pilot tubes that are sealed with cork. Later
propeller designs are sealed with a metal expansion plug located in a groove
in the outboard end of the pilot tube.

For propellers with a cork seal, if a pilot tube is removed during overhaul, it
is preferable to install a cork seal on the inboard end of the pilot tube before
pilot tube installation. If pilot tubes are not removed or if not all tubes are
removed during overhaul, the cork seal must be installed on the outboard end
of the pilot tube. All hubs that use a cork seal, must have all the cork seals in
the same location; otherwise, an imbalance may occur.

NOTE 2: During overhaul of all hubs, regardless of whether a pilot tube is removed,
application of rust preventative coating CM75 to the inside of the hub pilot
tube bores is required before sealing of the pilot tube.

WARNING: ADHESIVES AND SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE AND TOXIC


TO THE SKIN, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. SKIN AND
EYE PROTECTION ARE REQUIRED. AVOID PROLONGED
CONTACT AND BREATHING OF VAPORS. USE SOLVENT
RESISTANT GLOVES TO MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT AND
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR EYE PROTECTION. USE IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SPARKS AND FLAME.
READ AND OBSERVE ALL WARNING LABELS.
(a) Mix the adhesive CM16 in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
(b) Make sure that all the solvent has dried from the cleaned stud.
1 If the threads of the stud are not completely dry before installation, use
clean, dry, compressed air to speed the drying time.
(c) Using only enough adhesive CM16 to form a small bead around the stud
when installed, apply the adhesive to the hub threads and the stud threads.
NOTE: If too much adhesive is used, it may be difficult to remove the
excess.
(d) Install and set the stud protrusion height in accordance with Table 1-7.

WARNING: REMOVE ALL RESIDUAL ADHESIVE FROM THE MOUNTING


FLANGE TO PREVENT INTERFERENCE WITH PROPELLER
MOUNTING.
(e) Using a clean, dry, disposable paper or cloth towel dampened with an
approved solvent, wipe away any excess adhesive from the engine-side and
the propeller-side of the mounting flange.
(f) Measure and reset if necessary, the protrusion height of the stud in
accordance with Table 1-7.
(g) Install a stud curing fixture to make sure that the studs are set perpendicular
to the hub flange.
NOTE: A stud curing fixture is a locally manufactured tool. It is usually an
engine flange that has been cut from a damaged engine shaft.

I. Installation of an A-155, A-218, or A-1817 Bushing


(1) General
(a) These procedures provide instructions to install an A-155, A-218, or
A-1817 bushing in splined-shaft propeller models.
(2) Installation of a New Bushing
(a) Turn the hub and place it on a support, with the engine mounting flange
down.
(b) Position the bushing in the hub cavity with the flanged end of the bushing
away from the hub.
(c) Press the bushing into the hub.
(d) Machine the bushing in accordance with the specifications in Figure 1-13.
(e) Machine the flanged face of the bushing until the bushing face is
parallel with the hub flange face in accordance with the specifications
in Figure 1-13.
(3) Reinstallation of an Existing Bushing
(a) Inspect the existing bushing in accordance with the check criteria in this
chapter. If the bushing does not meet the check criteria, a new bushing
must be installed.
(b) After inspection, an existing bushing may be reinstalled only in the hub
from which it was removed.
(c) Turn the hub and place it on a support, with the engine mounting flange

J. Installation of the Hub Lug Bushing


For hub lug bushing installation in spline-shaft propeller models, refer to the guide
collar bushing replacement procedures in the Special Adhesive and Bonding
Procedures chapter in this manual.

K. Installation of Propeller Shaft Sleeve A-249


(1) General
(a) This procedure describes the installation of a propeller shaft sleeve, part
number A-249, on a 20 spline-shaft propeller that uses an oil transfer unit.
(b) The propeller shaft sleeve is installed when hub shaft wear causes
leakage to develop between the hub mounting flange and the oil transfer
unit.
NOTE: A propeller or hub manufactured after December 1997 uses the
A-249 sleeve because the hub is no longer hard chrome plated
in the area where the A-249 is used.
(2) Procedure
(a) Using CM23 or equivalent, thoroughly clean the OD of the hub mounting
flange.
(b) Using CM23 or equivalent, clean the ID of the propeller shaft sleeve.
(c) Using sealant CM93, coat the OD of the hub mounting.
(d) Using the installation tool supplied with the propeller shaft sleeve, press
the sleeve into the hub until the end of the sleeve is flush, or extends no
more than 0.12 inch (3.0 mm), from the end of the hub mounting flange
surface.
(e) Wipe off any excess sealant CM93.
(f) Allow the sealant CM93 to cure for 24 hours before installing the propeller.
