REPORTING COMPLIANCE SUSPENSE DATE - NO LATER THAN 6 APRIL 1999 IAW PARA 14A OF THIS MESSAGE. 4. SUMMARY OF PROBLEM - A. TWO INSTANCES HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF BUSHINGS BEING LEFT OUT DURING INSTALLATION OF LONGITUDINAL CYCLIC TRIM (LCT) YOKES. THE FIRST WAS CORRECTED BEFORE ANY DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE SECOND INSTANCE RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE YOKE ASSEMBLY MOUNTING LUG ON THE FORWARD TRANSMISSION. A REVIEW OF THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL CONFIRMS THAT TWO BUSHINGS (PART NUMBERS NAS75-20-206 AND NAS75- 20-123) ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY REPRESENTED IN THE TEXT OR DIAGRAMS. (1) FORWARD LCT YOKE ASSEMBLY: IN TM 55-1520-240-23, TASK 11-217, STEP 5.1, ITEM 9.1 IS INSTALLED (BUSHING, TM 55-1520- 240-23P, FIGURE 372, ITEM 78, PART NUMBER NAS75-20-206). PRIOR TO CHANGE 22 IN TM 55-1520-240-23, THIS PART WAS NOT REPRESENTED IN THE ASSOCIATED DIAGRAM. AS A RESULT, THIS BUSHING WAS OMITTED BECAUSE IT WAS CONFUSED WITH THE PRESS-FIT SLEEVE BUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING (TM 55-1520-240-23P, FIGURE 180, ITEM 22, PART NUMBER 145D0121-14). (2) AFT LCT YOKE ASSEMBLY: IN TM 55-1520-240-23, TASK 11-233, STEPS 7 AND 8 HAVE OMITTED THE INSTALLATION OF THE SLEEVE BUSHING (TM 55-1520-240-23P, FIGURE 137, ITEM 135, PART NUMBER NAS75-20-123). AS A RESULT, THE SLEEVE BUSHING WAS NOT INSTALLED. B. FOR MANPOWER, DOWNTIME AND FUNDING IMPACTS SEE PARA 12. C. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MESSAGE IS TO: INSPECT BOTH FORWARD AND AFT LCT YOKE ASSEMBLIES TO INSURE PROPER BUSHING INSTALLATIONS AND ANNOTATE CHANGES TO THE MAINTENANCE MANUALS. 5. END ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED - ALL CH-47D, MH-47D, AND MH-47E AIRCRAFT. 6. ASSEMBLY COMPONENTS TO BE INSPECTED - NOMENCLATURE PART NO.

INSPECT BOTH THE FORWARD AND AFT LCT YOKE ASSEMBLIES TO CONFIRM THE INSTALLATION OF THE BUSHING (PART NUMBER NAS75-20- 206), AND SLEEVE BUSHING (PART NUMBER NAS75-20-123). VISUAL INDICATIONS THAT THE BUSHINGS HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED ARE RADIAL MOVEMENT OF THE SHOULDERED SHAFT AND/OR NO GAP BETWEEN THE LCT YOKE AND THE WASHER ON THE SHAFT HEAD. B. IF THESE INSPECTIONS DO NOT CONFIRM THE INSTALLATION OF THE BUSHINGS, THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES SHOULD BE PERFORMED: DISASSEMBLE IAW TM 55-1520-240-23, TASKS 11-212 AND/OR 11-227 OR TM 1-1520-252-23, TASK 11-230 AND/OR 11-245. C IF THE INSPECTION CONFIRMS INSTALLATION OF THE BUSHING (PART NUMBER NAS75-20-206), AND SLEEVE BUSHING (PART NUMBER NAS75-20-123), NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS LCT YOKE.
