2. General Instructions
(1) Replacement fasteners must be of the same type, material and surface
finish as the original fasteners. They must also have the same sur
face lubricant if applicable (for example, lubricant).
(2) For repair work use fasteners that are the same as those in the ad
jacent area unless specified otherwise in the repair procedure. If
these fasteners cannot be identified contact AIRBUS.
(3) After fasteners have been installed their visible surfaces must be
fully cleaned. This is to make sure that the paint finish bonds cor
rectly, refer also to paragraph 2.J..
(2) When the correct fastener is not available refer to Chapter 51−43−12,

CAUTION: ONLY USE EQUIPMENT DESIGNED FOR THIS PURPOSE WHEN YOU PREÈ
PARE LUBRICANT SOLUTION (MATERIAL NUMBER 06-005). THIS SOLUÈ
TION IS A FLAMMABLE AND VOLATILE FLUID.
WARNING: CLEANING AGENT (MATERIAL NO. 11-002) IS DANGEROUS.
(a) To prepare the solution, mix 100 to 160 g (3.53 to 5.64 oz.) of
lubricant (Material Number 06-005) per liter (0.26 US gal.) of
cleaning agent (Material Number 11-002).
(b) Increase the temperature of the cleaning agent to between 49 and
54 C (120 and 129 F). This will make sure that the lubriÈ
cant (Material Number 06-005) is fully dissolved.
WARNING: CLEANING AGENT (MATERIAL NO. 11-004) IS DANGEROUS.
(2) Clean the parts with the cleaning agent (Material Number 11-004).
(3) Make sure that the parts are dry for the subsequent work step.
(4) Put the parts into the solution for approximately 2 minutes until
they are fully heated to a temperature of 49 C (120 F).
NOTE: Make sure that the parts are fully immersed in the solution.
NOTE: Keep the temperature of the solution between 49 and 54 C
(120 and 129 F).
(5) Remove the parts from the solution and shake them to remove the exÈ
cess fluid.
(6) Let the parts dry at a room temperature of 18 C (64 F).
NOTE: Do not handle the parts before they are fully dry.
(7) Do a visual check to make sure that the parts have a layer of luÈ
bricant all over them. A white film or a frosty aspect can be a reÈ
sult of the lubrication and is no cause to reject the part.
C. Service Life of the Solution
When a bath of lubricant is in permanent use, it is necessary to reÈ
place the solution after 30 days of continuous use. This is necessary
because of the possible contamination of the bath within this time. ConÈ
tamination can have an adverse effect on the solution. If used intermitÈ
tently, replace the solution after 50 hours or 60 days.
5. Bolts, Screws and Nuts
A. You may use power and/or hand tools to install and remove bolts, screws
and nuts. If a specific type of tool is required this will be given in
this topic where relevant.
Printed in Germany
51-42-11 FebPage 6

STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL
B. Install bolts and screws, where practical, with the head either uppermost
or foremost; as appropriate. In this position there is less risk of the
bolt/screw falling out if it becomes unsecured.
C. If not specified in a repair procedure, or by the original position of
the fastener, install nuts so that not less than 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) of
the bolt or screw extends through the nut. If the bolts or screws are
chamfered, the full chamfer must extend through the nut.
D. The torque values for fasteners are given in Chapter 51-49-00.
6. Rivets (Solid Rivets)
A. General
(1) For the installation of rivets the subsequent methods apply:
- the continuous squeeze riveting process,
- hammering with a pneumatic rivet gun,
- hand hammering.
The continuous squeeze method is recommended, but if this method is
not available then pneumatic hammering is the next recommended methÈ
od. The hand hammering method is used primarily for small repairs
that include very few rivets. It can also be used if other methods
are not available.
(2) A squeeze riveting tool makes the upset head of a rivet in a single
continuous action. For this effect the tools given below are necesÈ
sary:
- a hydraulically operated tool,
- or a pneumatically operated tool.
Static and portable types of tools are available.
(3) The rivet gun, used with a back-up dolly (bucking bar), forms the
upset head. This is known as reaction riveting. A correctly shaped
rivet set (rivet snap) is held in the gun and located on the
manufactured head end of the rivet. At the same time the dolly is
held against the end of the rivet to be upset. When the gun operÈ
ates, the dolly reaction to the pneumatic hammering of the gun forms
the upset head.
(4) Hand hammering is the basic method used to make the upset head of a
rivet. For this method do the subsequent steps:
(a) Support the manufactured head with a correctly shaped rivet set,
(b) Hold a dolly against the end of the rivet and hit it until the
upset head has the correct shape.
NOTE: Make sure that the hammer blows are heavy and as few as
possible because a large number of light blows work-hardens
the rivet. This can result in cracks in the upset head.

10. Rivet (Blind) (HUCK)
(b) A mandrel (shank) that is retained in the tubular body. When the
HUCK rivet is installed, the mandrel is mechanically secured
within the tubular body and is sheared off level with the rivet
head.
(3) When installed the HUCK rivet is similar to a ’pop’ rivet. But be
cause the mandrel is retained in the tubular body, this rivet has
almost the same properties as a solid rivet. The HUCK rivet can be
installed from one side of a repair or surface.
(6) HUCK rivets must only be used to replace HUCK rivets, or when called
up in a specific repair procedure or other approved documents.

(9) If the correct size for a replacement HUCK rivet is not known, do
the steps that follow:
(a) Accurately measure the diameter of the hole. Refer to Chapter
51−44−00, if the diameter of the hole is within the tolerances
for a standard rivet, use a rivet of this diameter. If the diam
eter of the hole is not within the tolerances, increase the hole
diameter to suit an oversize rivet if applicable, or the next
standard size.
(b) Measure the total thickness of the material at the hole. Refer
to Figure 41 thru Figure 45 as applicable to find the rivet of
the correct grip−length to suit the material thickness.

(9) Where pins (swaged) are installed in structure with surfaces that are
not parallel, the limits that follow apply:
− for CRS tension type pins (swaged), an angle up to 7 degrees is
acceptable,
− for titanium tension type pins (swaged), an angle up to 5 degrees
is acceptable, except in the wing structure where the limit is 3
degrees,
− for titanium shear type pins (swaged), an angle up to 3 degrees is
acceptable.
(10) All cutting tools (for example, drills, reamers and countersinks)
used to prepare the hole for a pin (swaged) must be in good condi
tion. This is necessary to ensure that the surface of the hole is
smooth.

STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL
(11) Before installing pins (swaged) make sure that the pins and collars
are as specified in the repair procedure.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace a pin (swaged) and the pin can
not be identified contact AIRBUS.
(12) The shank of a pin (swaged) does not expand when the pin is
installed, therefore the hole for the pin must be prepared very ac
curately.
(13) The collar for pins (swaged) can only be swaged with a suitable pow
er tool.
(14) The various manufacturer’s of pins (swaged) and collars use different
Part Numbering methods. It is recommended that these items are stored
in containers that show the applicable part number and type of item.
(15) The identification number for pins (swaged) and collars is given in
Chapter 51−40−12.
(16) Unless otherwise specified, pins (swaged) are ’wet installed’ with
sealant (Refer to Chapter 51−76−11).
B. Installation−General
(1) Before you install pins (swaged), make sure that the holes are
clean, smooth and prepared in accordance with Chapter 51−44−00.
(2) When an existing hole is damaged or oversize, install the next over
size pin (Refer to Chapter 51−43−00).
(3) If the grip−length is not specified for a pin (swaged) refer to Fig
ure 73.

(5) Examine the hole to check that it is clean, smooth and has a good
surface finish.
D. Installation of Pin (Swaged)
(1) Three different procedures are used to install pins (swaged). These
procedures are related to the type of fit (interference, transition
or clearance) that is required, and the type of structure (thick or
thin) in which the pins (swaged) will be installed. The procedures
are given in Figure 75, Figure 76 and Figure 77 as follows:
(1) The limits that follow are applicable to protruding head (also Refer
to Figure 78), and countersunk head (also Refer to Figure 79).
(d) When the head seating is outside these limits, replace the fas
tener. In this case, if it is necessary to install an oversize
fastener refer to Chapter 51−43−00 for the applicable oversize
pin.

(b) If the hole diameter is larger than that required for a −8 rivet
contact AIRBUS for advice.
E. Installation
(2) Use one of the methods that follow to form the upset head. The
method used will depend upon accessibility and the number of rivets
to be installed.
(a) Hand hammer and dolly. With this method the manufactured head is
supported by the dolly and the rivet tail is struck to form the
required type of head.
(b) Pneumatic hammer and dolly. These tools can be used in two ways
as shown in Figures 105 and 106.
NOTE: When using the methods given in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, the upset head should be formed with a few hammer
blows as necessary.
(c) Automatic riveting tools. These tools are usually only suitable
for production work.
(d) It is a requirement that rivets that are to be painted or
sealed, are cleaned after they have been installed. Cleaning
agents SOCOMOR DN108 or industrical alcohol are recommended for
this task.

H. Hole Inspection
(1) After removing a CHERRY E−Z BUCK rivet, the hole must be inspected
for:
− ovality,
− scoring,
− other damage.
A. General
(3) Holes for split pins may be drilled in bolts and studs either in−
situ or after disassembly, depending on the accessibility or material
from which the parts are made. The holes are then deburred prior to
fitting the split pins.
B. Limitations
(b) Thin plain nuts and lightweight self−locking nuts are not to be
locked with split pins, unless stated otherwise in the repair or
maintenance procedure.
Page B22
Printed in Germany
51−42−11 May 01/06
STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL
(c) On assemblies where the bolt/stud has no split pin hole drilled
but the maintenance procedure calls for a split pin to be
fitted, then the bolt/stud must only be drilled in accordance
with the following procedure.
(d) Split pin hole centres must be a distance not less than twice
the nominal diameter of the split pin hole from the end of the
bolt, or in the same position as the hole in the removed bolt.
(e) If not specified, requirements of the bolt standard must be re
spected for split pin hole location and dimensions.
(b) Where a bolt or stud can be removed, mark the hole location, re
move the bolt/stud from the assembly and install it in a drill
guide. The bolt must preferably not be drilled in−situ. When
possible and especially for titanium bolts, the fastener should
preferably be routed to the machine shop for drilling and debur
ring, otherwise the holes may be drilled using bench or pillar
machines and suitable holding fixture.
(c) Use of slotted nut or slave nut are not recommended because they
offer inadequate location during the drilling procedure.
(5) Check the threads using a suitable nut ensuring that the nut can
move freely on the thread when finger pressure only is applied.

D. Quality Requirements
− make sure that dimensional requirements are fulfilled for the split pin
hole,
− make sure that at least half the split pin diameter is located in the
slot of the castellated nut,
− make sure that the split pin has no longitudinal play.

(3) Unless stated otherwise, the second countersink (100°) will have same
dimensions as the first one.
(4) The length of rivet to be used must be determined to avoid trimming:
the volume of the protruding metal shall be chosen so that it is
slightly greater than the countersink to be filled.
(5) A countersunk driven head must fill the countersink fully. Unless
otherwise specified in an AIRBUS engineering document, the counter
sunk head must be milled flush (Refer to Figure 126).
