CAUTION: WHEN MOVING NOZZLE CASES, TILT THEM TO BRING

THEM BY SEAL. IF CASES ARE MOVED STRAIGHT
REARWARD, SEAL MAY BE DAMAGED.
(17) Move assembly of turbine stator duct assembly support,

nozzle case, and combustion chamber rear support
rearward into position. Align combustion chamber rear
support with bolt holes and temporarily secure with
bolts.
(18) Using previously installed collar and sling with

hoist, install combustion chamber outer case, aligning
scallops on outer case with scallops on nozzle case (if
removed). Move outer case forward into position, and
temporarily secure with worknut on every other stud on
outer case rear flange, and worknut on every other stud
at front flange.
(19) For engines with non−unit turbine determine rear

compressor drive turbine rotor axial running position
as follows: See Figure 401.
(a) Measure distance from rear face of rear turbine

nozzle case to rear face of 1st stage turbine
disk (between blade rivets). Measure at four
equally spaced locations, but do not turn turbine
rotor from its position at start of measurement.
Average distance must conform to limits in figure.
Optional measurement from rear flange of diffuser
case to front face of 1st stage turbine disk may
be performed if desired. Measure at four equally
spaced locations, but do not turn turbine rotor
from its position at start of measurement.
(20) (Reference 1010) For engines with unit turbine,

detemine rear compressor drive turbine rotor axial
running position as follows. See Figure 402.
(a) Measure distance from rear flange of turbine

front (or intermediate) case to rear face of
1st stage turbine disk (between blade rivets).
Average distance must conform to limits in figure.
Measure at four equally spaced locations, but do
not turn turbine rotor from its position at start
of measurement.
NOTE: On JT8D−15A,−17,−17A,−17R, and −17AR

assembly ensure that measurement is made

from rear face of 1st stage turbine disk

between blade retaining plates, not from
rear face of plates.
(21) If distance (axial position of rotor) is not within

limits remove rotor and alter spacer as follows:
(a) Remove spacer with PWA 12400 Puller. If spacer is

too thin, replace it with thicker one. If spacer
is too thick, machine it, if desired, to required
thickness, using PWA 9717 Grinding Adapter. Front
and rear faces of spacer must be parallel within
0.0005 inch after grinding.
CAUTION: SPACER THINNER THAN THINNEST CLASS

AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN ILLUSTRATED
PARTS CATALOG (0.255 INCHES) SHOULD
NEVER BE USED WITHOUT PRIOR THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION OF CORRECT ENGINE
ASSEMBLY. ALL PARTS USED IN ASSEMBLING
ENGINE AREAS THAT DETERMINE SPACER
THICKNESS MUST BE TO REQUIRED
SPECIFICATIONS.
(b) Put the correct spacer on PWA 9728 Drift and put
both in a freezer to decrease the temperature
fully. Install the turbine shaft spacer (small
OD toward the rear of the shaft). If the spacer
is not engaged correctly you can lightly hit the
drift with a soft mallet. If the spacer does not
engage, replace the spacer.
(22) Reinstall turbine rotor and repeat position

measurement.
(23) First stage turbine blade outer shroud distance check.
(a) For JT8D−1,−1A,−1B,−7,−7A,−7B,−9 and 9A unit

turbine engines equipped with multi−knife−edge
1st stage outer air seals, measure distance front
blade spoiler to turbine case rib using PWA 33154
Gage (see paragraph below and Figure 401 Index
3), at eight equally spaced locations. Prior to
using gage, zero dial indicator on setting master.
#72−00−52
INSTALL−03
Page 407
000
Pratt & Whitney

Setting master dimension is 1.000 inch. All

readings must have 1.000 inch added.
NOTE: To save time, make rotor position

measurement in step (23) and blade spoiler
axial position check in this step at same
time, without removing rotor between
operations. If rotor position proves to
be out of limits, add or subtract amount
of discrepancy to or from observed blade
spoiler position. For example, if rotor
is 0.003 inch too high and blade spoiler
distance is found to be 1.050 inches,
assume that this distance will be 1.047
inches when rotor position is adjusted by
spacer selection.
1 Assemble dial indicator and finger detail to

positioning block.
2 Place positioning block on rear flange of

turbine front case.
3 Position dial indicator finger under spoiler on

turbine blade tip. This will position plunger
of dial indicator on turbine case inner rib.
4 Record reading (add one inch) and proceed to

measure at seven additional locations. Recheck
zero of dial indicator.
5 Average 8 readings and select appropriate seal.
(b) (Reference 1229) For JT8D−11 and −15 engines

equipped with microfin 1st stage turbine outer
airseal. Measure distance from blade airseal to
turbine case rib (see Figure 402 Sheet 2, Index
3), at eight equally spaced locations. Average
eight readings and select appropriate seal.

FORWARD, SEAL MAY BE DAMAGED.
(24) When rotor position is within limits, unbolt and remove

combustion chamber outer case (or move it rearward as
far as it will go), bringing front flange lugs of case
carefully past rear flange scallops of front turbine

case. Unbolt and move combustion chamber rear support

or duct assembly, turbine stator support and combustion
chamber outer case (if installed) forward toward
diffuser case.
(25) Remove the turbine.
(26) Seal selection and installation (unit turbine). See

Figure 403.
(a) For two knife−edge seals select seal, as

necessary, to meet radial clearance limits
specified. See Figure 403.
NOTE: Seals exist in five types, seals with two

centrally located knife−edges, "multi
knife−edge" types with four or five
knifeedges, seals with microfins, and seals
with abradable honeycomb.
(b) For engines equipped with multi−knife−edge seal,

select seal to meet axial clearance limit given
in Figure 403. For variable gap in given range,
select class of seal indicated.
(c) (Reference 1229) For JT8D−11 and −15 engines with

microfin seals, select seal as necessary to meet
axial clearance specified in Figure 403.
(d) For engines with multi−knife−edge or abradable

honeycomb seals, determine maximum runout of
largest OD and mark using ink or paint (See
Standard Practices Manual) as shown in Figure 404.
NOTE: New abradable honeycomb airseals which have

metal seal rings and spring gaskets are
installed in the Task 72−51−00−43−000−C or
Task 72−51−00−43−000−D, (Section 72−51−00,
Assembly−01, or −01A) and are not removed
in the assembly procedure that come after.
Airseals in this group are as follows:

3. JT8D−15A,−17A,−17AR and pre SB 5459

(with damper).
(e) Seat damper (if so equipped) tightly into

respective channel in case by holding one side
of slip joint ends and drifting other side in
spreading direction.
NOTE: The following JT8D engine models

incorporate 1st stage turbine outer airseal
dampers.
1. JT8D−1,−1A,−1B,−7,−7A,−7B,−9, and −9A
engines prior to SB 5021.
2. JT8D−11 engines prior to SB 3314.
3. JT8D−11 engines incorporating SB 5008

but prior to SB 5455 or SB 5648.
4. JT8D−15,−17, and −17R engines incorpora−

ting SB 5008 but prior to SB 5648.
5. JT8D−15A,−17A and −17AR engines prior

to SB 5459.
(f) For engines equipped with damper, install 1st

stage turbine outer airseal into case (inside
damper) as follows:
NOTE: The damper in JT8D−15A,−17A, and −17AR

pre SB 5459 is installed in Task
72−51−00−43−000−D, (Section 72−51−00,
Assembly−01) and is not removed in the
assembly procedures that come after.
1 Install outer airseal so lugs are aligned

with case lug slots, X mark is at 12 o'clock
position (for multi−knife−edge seals), and seal
rests squarely in case.
#72−00−52
INSTALL−03
Page 410

Pratt & Whitney

2 Drift seal into damper at points 180° apart

towards seat. Though some tangs will be forced
out of channel between seal lugs and case
lug slots, continue to drift seal as far as
possible without damaging damper tangs.
3 Using PWA 12295 Puller, pull seal up slowly

until damper tangs go back into channel.
NOTE: Before pulling on seal, make certain

seal is drifted down far enough for
damper tangs to establish bite on seal.
4 After damper tangs go back into channel, again

drift seal towards seat.
5 If tangs still protrude preventing seal from

sealing completely, use blunt instrument to
force tangs back into channel.
(g) For engines not equipped with damper, install 1st

stage turbine outer airseal into case so lugs are
aligned with case lug slots and X mark is at 12
o'clock position. Drift at points 180° apart to
seat.
(h) For all models except JT8D−15A,−17A,−17AR and SB

5021 or SB 5455 configuration: If this assembly
is going to be used with a spare front compressor
drive turbine, check distance from turbine front
case rear flange to 1st stage turbine outer
airseal. See Figure 405. Tag or mark this on
case for future reference.
(27) Install a new gasket in the groove of the No. 5

bearing seal support flange as follows:
(a) Look at the gasket to find the area where the

width across the gasket is the smallest (see
Figure 406).
(b) Find the top center of the engine or engine

subassembly (look at the location of fuel
manifolds or other parts). Install the gasket in
the groove of the No. 5 bearing seal support in
a position that will put the part of the gasket
with the smallest width at the top center of the
engine after the seal support is installed on the
#72−00−52
INSTALL−03
Page 411
000
Pratt & Whitney

engine (one hole clockwise from the dowel pin hole

seen from the rear). Prepare the gasket for
installation as follows:
NOTE: It is important to use as many precautions

as possible to prevent oil leakage and make
sure the No. 5 bearing area parts are
assembled as correctly as possible. If the
part of the gasket with the least width is
at the top, this will put the parts of the
gasket with the most width at the bottom
(this will make the tightest oil seal).
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY PWA 36500 ASSEMBLY FLUID

OR PWA 36000 JOINTING COMPOUND
ON MATING FLANGES. KEEP FLUID OR
COMPOUND IN THE GASKET AREA ONLY.
BE SURE TO REMOVE FLUID OR COMPOUND
PUSHED OUT OF THE GASKET AREA TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINE.
1 Apply a thin layer of PWA 36000 Sealant

(Jointing Compound) on the rear side of the
gasket (the side that will be against the seal
support). Keep the sealant on the rear side
only and install the gasket in the seal support
no more than ten minutes after the sealant is
applied.
NOTE: The sealant specified is recommended to

help keep the gasket in position when
the rear compressor drive turbine rotor
is installed. It is permitted to
install the gasket dry (without sealant)
or with a thin layer of PWA 36500
Assembly Fluid, but PWA 36000 applied as
specified will give the best results.
2 Install the gasket in the seal support groove

with the part of the gasket with the least
width in the position specified in step (b).
Push the gasket lightly into position (do not
use force on the gasket). The gasket must go
into the seal support groove very easily. If
it does not, replace the gasket with a new one.
Use the same procedures in steps (b) and 1
above to prepare a new gasket.
#72−00−52

(c) Make a temporary mark on the seal support or heat

shield to show where the part of the gasket with
the least width is.
(28) If PWA 77509 Ring Spacer was not removed from the
bearing housing after the turbine nozzle group was
installed, remove it:
(a) Loosen the work bolts that hold the plate one half
a turn at a time in this sequence (look for the
number marks outboard of the bolt circle): 1, 10,
20, 6, 15, 24, 4, 13, 22, 8, 17, 27, 2, 11, 21, 9,
19, 28, 5, 14, 25, 7, 16, 26, 3, 12, 23, and 18.
NOTE: It is permitted to loosen the bolts one

at a time in the specified sequence, or
to loosen them in groups of three (for
example, 1, 10, 20; 6, 15, 24; to the end
of the sequence.
(b) Remove the work bolts and PWA 77509 Ring Spacer.
(29) Put the turbine rotor behind the rear compressor and
diffuser. Look at the turbine and compressor to see if
there are marks to align them (if the turbine rotor is
the same as was removed from the engine before, see if
there are marks to get the turbine and compressor back
together in the same radial position). If there is a
high−runout mark on the turbine shaft and a high−runout
mark on the end of the rear compressor rear hub, turn
the turbine rotor to align these marks.
(30) Install the turbine rotor in the rear compressor rear

hub (be careful not to hit the No. 5 bearing rollers
with the shaft as it goes in).
(31) Lubricate threads of rear compressor drive turbine

shaft coupling with engine oil and install coupling,
threaded end forward, into turbine shaft.
(32) Secure appropriate guide ring to PWA 12066 Coupling

Wrench at marked location.

this mark is at 12 o'clock position with

respect to engine. Align the dowel pin
hole in the seal support flange with the
dowel pin that comes through the No. 5
bearing inner heat shield.
2 Install the No. 5 bearing heat shield and

outer shield against the seal support (keep the
outer shield and inner heat shield aligned with
each other). See Figure 407.
NOTE: Be sure to align the outer shield and

heat shield assembly behind the seal as
shown in the figure, with the vent holes
equally spaced approximately along the
engine horizontal centerline. If the
shield has a drain hole (post− SB 5546),
make sure that this drain hole is at the
engine bottom centerline.
(b) No. 5 bearing seal assembly incorporating either

SB 5643 or SB A6196.
NOTE: SB 5643 incorporates No. 5 bearing heat

shield riveted to rear of seal. SB A6196
incorporates No. 5 bearing heat shield
welded to rear of seal.
1 Align No. 5 bearing seal and heatshield

assembly with heatshield drain hole at engine
bottom centerline as shown in Figure 407. With
assembly in this orientation, inner heatshield
vent holes will be along horizontal centerline
as shown in figure.
(c) No. 5 bearing seal assembly post SB 5945 and pre

SB A6196. See Figure 407.
NOTE: Post SB 5945 and pre SB A6196 engines have

a loose (not riveted and not welded) inner
heat shield and outer shield.

put the outer shield drain hole at the engine

bottom centerline.
NOTE: Align the inner heat shield vent holes

(two holes 180 degrees apart) at the
approximate engine horizontal centerline
on the No. 5 bearing seal assembly.
Use the X mark on the No. 5 bearing
seal assembly top centerline to find the
horizontal centerline.
(d) (Reference 1248) Install and torque seal retaining

bolts as follows:
NOTE: Use only part number ST1456−14 seal

retaining bolts and the applicable torque
limits that follow.
1 Apply PWA 521 Oil to the threads and shoulders

of the bolts.
NOTE: Do not install the bolts without engine

oil. It is important to lubricate the
bolts to prevent incorrect installation
and torque.
2 Find the mark on the No. 5 bearing seal

support which is the location of the least
width on the support gasket (this must be at
the top of the engine or engine subassembly
after the seal and support is installed) (one
hole clockwise from the dowel pin hole in the
No. 5 bearing housing flange, seen from the
rear). Use this position to start a number
sequence (1 − 28) for the 28 boltholes around
the No. 5 bearing seal support and heatshield.
Put numbers from 1 to 28 clockwise around the
seal heat shield as seen from the rear, use
a safe temporary ink marker (see Standard
Practices Manual, PN 585005, Section 70−11−00)
or put numbers on a belt and wind the belt
around the assembly with No. 1 in the top
position). Start the first number at the top
of the assembly and put the numbers outboard of
the bolt circle.

this same sequence for the bolts that
will attach the seal to the housing and
No. 4 and 5 bearing heat shield.
3 Install 28 work bolts and torque them to 45 −

55 lb−in. in this sequence: 1, 10, 20, 6, 15,
24, 4, 13, 22, 8, 17, 27, 2, 11, 21, 9, 19, 28,
5, 14, 25, 7, 16, 26, 3, 12, 23, and 18.
NOTE: Make sure the work bolts are the same

length as the engine bolts. If the work
bolts are too long, they can cause
damage to the No. 4 and 5 bearing inner
heat shield rear bellows section. The
best procedure is to use engine bolts
with marks or paint on them to prevent
their installation in the engine after
the assembly is completed.
NOTE: Be sure to lubricate the threads and

shoulders of the work bolts with PWA 521
Engine Oil. It is important to use oil
to prevent incorrect installation and
torque.
NOTE: It is permitted to torque the bolts one

to torque them in groups of three (for
example, 1, 10, 20; 6, 15, 24; to the
end of the sequence.
4 Torque the bolts in the same sequence to 145 −

155 lb−in. (do not loosen the bolts when you

R subsequent bolt in the sequence.
R 7 Torque the 28 engine bolts to 45 − 55 lb−in.

in the same sequence as for the work bolts (see
step 3 above).
NOTE: It is permitted to torque the bolts one

to torque them in groups of three (for
example, 1, 10, 20; 6, 15, 24; to the
end of the sequence).
R 8 Torque the engine bolts in the same sequence to

95 − 100 lb−in. (do not loosen the bolts when
you do this)
R 9 Do the same torque in step 7 again after 30

minutes (do this torque again at 30 minute
intervals until the torque on the bolts does
not change (until the bolts do not turn)).
NOTE: If the bolts were torqued by this

procedure and it was subsequently
necessary to remove the rear compressor
drive turbine rotor to change the shaft
spacer, it will be necessary to remove
the No. 5 bearing seal gasket, clean
the groove in the seal support flange,
