VERTICAL STABILIZER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION – continued
2.107.7. Corrosion Prevention
CAUTION
Do not apply corrosion preventive compound on individual components prior to or during assembly.
Application will result in a wet (lubricated) torque which can cause a much higher torque value than
specified.
NOTE
New stabilizer and/or new hardware initially require two applications of corrosion preventive com-
pound which must be applied at intervals at least 1 HOUR apart.
When applying corrosion preventive compound, use the precision (drinking straw-like) applicator
attached to the spray head of aerosol can.
After 2 MINUTES, wipe excess corrosion preventive compound from applied area.
a. Apply corrosion preventive compound (item 63, App F) to vertical stabilizer hinge assemblies.
(1) Make application in single short duration squirts to the following areas:
(a) Between nut and vertical stabilizer ear.
(b) Between vertical stabilizer ears and horizontal stabilator ears (three places on each hinge assembly).
b. Inspect (QA).
