DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
NOTE
Gears, bearings, sleeves, and other components mounted on shaft may require use of arbor
press (item 13, Appx F) for disassembly and assembly.
Complete disassembly of a component is not always necessary to make a required repair or replacement. Good judgment
should be used to keep disassembly operations to a minimum.
In disassembling a unit, first follow basic inspection procedures, then remove as many major components and
subassemblies as possible. These components may then be reduced, as necessary, into individual parts.
During disassembly, tag critical parts such as bearings and electrical harnesses and leads, to facilitate reassembly. This is
especially important for electrical equipment if circuit number tags are illegible or missing.
