Installing Reinforcement Assemblies

(To be performed on Both Front Door Guide Loops when Either Front Door Guide Loop is cracked).

1. Using "Drilling Operation" side of Guide Loop Inspection/Drilling Fixture (J 39425-4), place guide loop in fixture (see View E).








2. Locate two holes in guide loop plate on either side of threaded stud. While holding guide loop in fixture with palm, use 3/16" (## mm) drill bit to drill through black plastic material (see View F).

3. Using T-Handle Cutting Tool (J 39425-1), remove all black plastic material from in and around holes in guide loop as illustrated in View G. This creates two circular cutouts in lower corners of triangular area on back side of guide loop.

NOTICE: Turning handle back and forth while applying downward pressure has been determined to do a better cleaning job than full rotation of the handle.





4. Install reinforcement plate studs into holes in guide loop. Ensure reinforcement plate is completely seated by firmly pressing plate into guide loop cutout area (see View H).





5. Reinstall guide loop (with reinforcement assembly in place) using rubber washer removed previously and new nut supplied in reinforcement kit. Torque nut to 28 N-m (21 lb.ft.). Reinstall nut cover. (See View I).

6. Repeat reinforcement assembly installation on opposite front door guide loop.

7. Install Campaign Identification Label.
