You have to place your hand and arm through the fan blades to get at the fan bolts.
Use the mechanics mirror from the No. 1 Common shop set to see the position of
the fan bolt heads. The mirror will help you align the torque wrench with the head
of each fan bolt.
Because of the tight space, use torque
wrench, NSN 5120-01-355-1734, and a 16mm
socket from the No. 1 Common shop set.
Check each bolt with the torque wrench to
see if it’s less than 32 lb-ft of torque. Less than
32 lb-ft means the bolt is loose.
If any bolt is loose, remove it with a
wrench–but not the torque wrench. Clean the
bolt’s threads with a wire brush. Use sealing
compound, NSN 8030-01-250-3969, on the
bolt threads before you reinstall the bolt. Then
torque the bolt to 32 lb-ft.

LRT-110 Crane Cable
U
se NSN 4010-00-171-6315 to get the winch cable for the 71⁄2-ton crane. The parts
info shown for Item 3, Fig 13-1 of TM 5-3810-305-24P is no longer available.
LRT-110 Crane Brake Fluid Reservoir
T
he elements and rough handling can KO the caps on the 71/2-ton crane’s brake master cylin-
der. Don’t order the whole reservoir like it shows in TM 5-3810-305-24P. Instead, order the cap
with NSN 5340-01-173-9156 and the diaphragm with NSN 5340-01-173-9155. Make a note of
these NSNs until the TM is updated.

the story you’re about to
read is
true!
only the
names have been changed…
to protect the innocent.
“We were working the night
watch in the
logistics
assistance office.”
“it’d been one of those hot,
humid days when a tree hopes
a dog will pay a visit. and
your shirt sticks to your skin
like a… second skin.”
“then the phone rang…”
“my partner’s name is
bill gannon.
my name’s
friday. joe friday.”
gannon,
lar.
uh,
huh…
yeah…
that’s
bad!
ok,
calm
down.
we’ll
be
right
over!
