5 Remove nuts securing support bracket to bleed air outlet.
(9) Separate engine from airplane.
NOTE: The engine and thrust reverser may be removed as one assembly providing
the correct engine sling is available. The maintenance facility has the option
of removing the engine with the thrust reverser installed or removing the thrust
reverser from the engine prior to removing the engine. For removing the thrust
reverser prior to removing the engine, refer to Chapter 78, Thrust Reverser System
- Removal/Installation.
(a) Attach engine lift sling to lifting brackets and engine sling to thrust reverser flange.
(b) Connect lifting hoist to engine sling and take up engine weight until weight is removed
from engine isolators.
(c) Disconnect rear engine isolator by removing cotter pin, nut and bolt.
(d) Disconnect forward lower engine isolator by removing cotter pin, nut, washer and bolt.
(e) Disconnect forward upper engine isolator by removing cotter pin, nut, washer, jumper
plate assembly and bolt.
(f) Carefully move engine away from pylon to disengage engine isolators from engine
mounts. Verify all electrical connectors, fluid lines and mechanical linkages are clear;
then lower engine onto an approved maintenance stand/dolly.
(g) Remove lifting hoist and sling.
B. Install Engine (Refer to Figure 401).
(1) Check engine compartment (nacelle). Verify that the compartment is ready for engine
installation.
NOTE: The engine and thrust reverser may be installed as one assembly providing
the correct engine sling is available. The maintenance facility has the option of
installing the engine with the thrust reverser removed or installing the thrust reverser
on the engine prior to installing the engine. For installing the thrust reverser
prior to installation of the engine, refer to Chapter 78, Thrust Reverser System
- Removal/Installation.
(2) Install lift sling on aft bypass flange or thrust reverser flange (if thrust reversers are installed)
at the 12 o'clock position using existing six bolts.
(3) Attach engine lift sling to engine sling and connect to lifting hoist.
(4) Carefully hoist engine from maintenance stand/dolly and raise into position for installation.
CAUTION: Verify all ducts, electrical connectors and control cables are guided
into position.
(5) Align forward and rear isolators with mounts and carefully move engine toward pylon to align
mounts.
(6) Attach the engine isolators and mounts.
(a) Install the engine mount bolts in the lower and upper engine mounts.
(b) Install the engine mount bolt in the rear engine mount.
(c) Install the jumper plate assembly, washer and nut in the upper forward engine mount.
(d) Install the washer and nuts on the mount bolts and tighten to the standard torque and
safety the nuts with cotter pins.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 20, Torque Data - Maintenance Procedures, for the correct
engine mount bolt torque. Refer to Chapter 20, Safetying - Maintenance
Procedures, for the correct engine mount bolt safety procedures.
