1. Before beginning a task, find out how much repair, modification, or replacement is needed to fix the equipment
as described in this manual. Sometimes the reason for equipment failure can be seen right away and complete
teardown is not necessary. Disassemble the equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace damaged
or broken parts.
2. All tags and forms attached to the equipment must be checked to learn the reason for removal from service.
Check all Modification Instructions (MIs) and Technical Bulletins (TBs) for equipment changes and updates.
3. In some cases a part may be damaged by removal. If the part appears to be good, and other parts behind it are
not defective, leave it on and continue the procedure. Here are a few simple rules:
a. Do not remove dowel pins or studs unless loose, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged.
b. Do not pull bearings or bushings unless damaged. If you must get at parts behind them, pull out bearings
or bushings carefully.
