2.   Export Compliance
     A.   This publication contains technical data and is subject to U.S. export regulations. This information has
          been exported from the United States in accordance with export administration regulations. Diversion
          contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.
          ECCN: 9E991
INTRODUCTION
1.   General
     A.   The instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) in this publication uses the data available at the
          time of publication. This publication is updated, supplemented, and changed by service letters,
          service bulletins, publication revisions, reissues, ICA supplements, and temporary revisions, which
          are supplied by subscription services available from McCauley Product Support. All of these changes
          become part of and are specifically included in this publication. The latest changes to this publication
          are given through the McCauley Product Support subscription services and/or McCauley authorized
          service facilities.
                The purchaser is warned not to use the data in McCauley's overhaul/maintenance/
                service/information manuals when parts are designed, manufactured, remanufactured,
                overhauled, and/or approved by entities, other than McCauley or McCauley authorized
                entities, are installed. When non-McCauley parts are used, the data in McCauley's
                overhaul/maintenance/service/information manuals is no longer applicable. All of
                the inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, inspection
                methods, life limits, cycle limits, etc., McCauley recommends are given when new,
                remanufactured, or overhauled McCauley approved parts are installed. All inspection
                intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time limits, the methods of inspection, life
                limits, cycle limits, etc., for non-McCauley parts must come from the manufacturer
                and/or seller of the non-McCauley parts.
     B.   Inspection, maintenance and parts requirements for Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) installations
          that modify the propeller are not given in this manual. When the propeller has an STC installation,
          those parts of the propeller that the installation has an effect on, must be examined in accordance with
          the inspection program published by the owner of the STC. McCauley-supplied inspection criteria may
          not be valid for propellers that have STC installations because they may change the systems interface,
          operating characteristics and component loads or stresses on adjacent structures.
                Any inspection and/or repair requiring disassembly, reassembly or overhaul of a
                McCauley propeller blade must be done in an FAA-approved or international equivalent
                propeller repair station by qualified personnel.
     C.   Users of this manual are presumed to have sufficient training to follow these instructions carefully and
          correctly.
     D.   The inspection requirements are stated in a manner to establish what propeller blade component is
          to be inspected, preferred inspection method, and criteria for airworthiness.
     E.   This manual contains overhaul instructions, test instructions and illustrated parts list for aluminum
          propeller blades manufactured by McCauley Propeller Systems.
     F.   Overhaul instructions are provided on a functional basis (Disassembly, Cleaning, Repair, etc.). To
          the maximum extent possible, the instructions are general and applies to all propeller blades made of
          aluminum. When a specific propeller blade requires different overhaul instructions (than the general
          instructions), the different instructions will be identified with the specific propeller blade.
     G.   Additional propeller blade models will be incorporated in this manual by the addition of pertinent data
          and the addition of the model number and detail parts to the Illustrated Parts List. Different instructions
          specific for the added blade models will be given in the appropriate chapters.
     H.   McCauley SPM100 Standard Practices Manual, Tools List Section 60-00-09, lists the tools by propeller
          type required to perform the propeller blade overhaul operations.
     I.   Tables of Propeller Application are not given in this manual. The user is directed to consult the
          FAA Aircraft Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) and/or the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
          for pertinent data for propellers (blade angles, certificated diameter ranges, particularly). For
          convenience, the McCauley Propeller Systems Application Guide (MAG) may be used for propeller
          application information. The TCDS supersedes any information published in the MAG.
                                                                               INTRODUCTION                 Page 1

                                         BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
           (1)   Alert Service Bulletins are technical documents that provide instructions and, if applicable, part
                 information for the incorporation of an installation, modification, or repair to a specific propeller
                 or propeller component. Alert Service Bulletins are used to announce mandatory special
                 product inspection criteria and modifications, revised maintenance information and/or revised
                 operational information which has been determined to be critical for the continued safe and
                 reliable performance of the propeller, or propeller component.
     B.    Service Bulletin
           (1) Service Bulletins are technical documents that provide instructions and, if applicable, part
                information for the incorporation of an installation, modification, or repair to a specific propeller or
                propeller component. Service Bulletins are used to announce special product inspection criteria
                and modifications, revised maintenance information and/or revised operational information
                which has been determined to be critical for the continued safe and reliable performance of the
                propeller, or propeller component.
     C.    Service Letter
           (1) Service Letters are used to announce support and service information.
     D.    Special Service Project
           (1) Special Service Projects (SSP's) are similar to service bulletins and are used to announce
                special product inspection criteria and modifications, revised maintenance information and/or
                revised operational information which is intended to assist in improving propeller safety,
                reliability, durability and/or performance. SSP's typically contain similar information and/or
                headings as service bulletins, but are often tailored for special situations and/or conditions
                or logistical requirements that may affect only a limited number of propellers. One additional
                heading that can be found on a SSP is the heading titled "Duration". The Duration heading
                provides an expiration date for the SSP when used.
8.   Service Bulletins
     A.    Service Bulletins may require special inspections and authorize modifications to propellers. As service
           bulletins are issued, they will be incorporated in the next scheduled revision and noted in the Service
           Bulletin List, located at the beginning of this section. The list of service bulletins utilizes three columns
           to summarize information.
           (1) Service Bulletin Number - This column identifies the bulletin by number.
           (2) Service Bulletin Date - This column indicates the initial date the bulletin became active.
           (3) Manual Incorporation - This column indicates the date the service bulletin has been incorporated

                                       BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
                NOTE:      Propeller assemblies that use "threaded" propeller blades (C1 through C98 model
                           propeller assemblies) do not have a principal manual identified at this time. The
                           C1 through C98 model propellers currently do not have any defined airworthiness
                           limitations. If an airworthiness limitation is defined in the future, this limitation will be
                           published in the applicable "threaded" propeller service manual.
      B.   BOM100 Blade Overhaul Manual
           (1) The instructions provided in this manual may be revised to add changes to an existing ICA or
               to add an additional ICA when changes to an affected propeller type design require changes
               to these instructions. When a revision to this manual is not possible within the time constraints
               for these ICAs, the instructions may be transmitted with a temporary revision or with an ICA
               supplement. Temporary revisions will be incorporated in the next revision to this manual and
               ICA supplements will also be incorporated in the next revision unless these instructions require
               restricted distribution.
      C.   Temporary Revisions
           (1) Temporary revisions may be produced to transmit supplemental instructions for continued
               airworthiness when a revision to the manual is not possible within the time constraints for these
               ICAs. They consist of complete page blocks which replace the existing paper and will temporally
               supersede the CD-ROM data. Temporary revisions will be included on the CD-ROM on the
               next CD-ROM release. Temporary revisions are numbered consecutively in the ATA chapter
               assignment. Page numbering uses the three-element number, which matches the manual.
           (2) Paper version of the manual
               (a) Paper temporary revisions will be distributed on yellow paper. File the temporary revision
                    cover sheet after the title page of the chapter to which it applies and substitute or add the
                    remaining pages in the paper manual.
           (3) CD-ROM version of the manual.
               (a) The cover sheet will be located in the manual CD-ROM library at the beginning of the
                    chapter to which it applies and the changed or added pageblocks will be located in the
                    appropriate location by ATA. All revised or added information will be identified with revision
                    bars for the full length of the text.
      D.   ICA Supplements
           (1) ICA supplements may be produced to transmit supplemental instructions for continued
                airworthiness when a revision to the BOM100 Blade Overhaul manual is not possible within the
                time constraints for these ICAs. ICA supplements will provide supplemental instructions for one
                or more ICA manuals and is to be used in conjunction with the affected manuals (maintenance
                manual, wiring diagram manual, etc.) until those instructions are incorporated into the manuals.
                ICA supplements are numbered consecutively by model in the ATA chapter assignment. Page
                numbering uses the three-element number, which matches the affected manuals.
           (2) Refer to the ICA Supplement List to determine the incorporation status for each manual affected.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1. General Information
     NOTE:     Terms used in this manual for propeller assembly servicing and life are defined as follows :
     A.   Overhaul
          (1) Overhaul is the periodic disassembly, inspection, reconditioning and reassembly of a propeller
              assembly. A propeller assembly is constructed of a number of moveable, detachable parts.
              (a) The period between overhauls is based either on hours of service (e.g., operating time) or
                   on calendar time.
              (b) The inspection procedures described in this manual should be accomplished at every
                   overhaul. The interval between overhauls of the propeller assembly must not exceed
                   the limitations in the latest revision of the McCauley MPC26 Owner/Operator Information
                   Manual or McCauley Service Bulletin SB137[X], as applicable.
                   1     For all McCauley constant speed threadless propellers (C200 thru C1100 model
                         series propellers).
                         a     Refer to the McCauley MPC26, Owner/Operator Information Manual for the
                               current overhaul interval for the applicable propeller model.
                   2     For all McCauley constant speed threaded propellers (C1 thru C98 model series
                         propellers).
                         a     Refer to McCauley Service Bulletin SB137[XX] for the current overhaul interval
                               for the applicable propeller model.
              (c) At specified overhaul periods:
                   1     Completely disassemble the blade assembly.
                   2     Do an inspection of all the parts for cracks, wear, corrosion and other unusual or
                         abnormal conditions (Refer to the SPM100 Standard Practices Manual, Inspection
                         Criteria, Definitions of Defects and Damage).
                   3     Repair the finish or replace certain parts as necessary.
                   4     Assemble and balance the blade. Refer to the SPM100 Standard Practices Manual,
                         Blade Track and Blade to Blade Balance.
              (d) During the overhaul, do all the applicable instructions in this manual and in later service
                   bulletins and letters.
     B.   Reconditioning
          (1) Reconditioning is to correct minor or major damage of certain propeller components. Blade
              damage can be caused when small objects hit the blade during normal operation.
              (a) Use the procedures in this manual to correct the blade damage as necessary.
              (b) Before you return the blade to service, balance it again.
     C.   Repair
          (1) Repair is the correction of minor or major blade assembly damage.
                                                                                          61-10-00       Page 1

                                      BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
               CAUTION: Always refer to the special instructions before you do any repairs.
               (a)   Use the procedures in this manual to repair the blade assembly as necessary.
               (b)   The amount, degree and extent of major damage will help to find if a blade assembly can
                     be repaired without a complete overhaul. Refer to Inspection Procedures.
     D.   Blade Model Designation
          (1) Refer to Figure 1.
          NOTE:      The metal stamping of blade information on the blade butt refers to a "bare" anodized
                     blade (i.e. no paint, boots, other parts, or even lead) with the stamping accomplished after
                     anodize and before the staking operation.
                                                                                         61-10-00       Page 2

                                      BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
     D.   Old Procedure
          (1) In the old procedure, all the new blades were compared with a master blade. The balance data
               that was stamped on the blade showed the additional weight that was necessary to balance the
               new blade to the master. Refer to Table 2.
          (2) For example, a blade with the balance data H10 T6 would be 1.0 ounce (28.35 gm) light in the
               horizontal plane and 0.6 ounce (17.01 gm) light on the trailing edge (vertical plane). This is how
               it compared with the master blade. On 3-blade propellers, the vertical balance is not measured.
          (3) If the blade weights were within the specified tolerance of each other, they were put together for
               the propeller assemblies. This procedure has been stopped. The existing service information
               for this procedure is obsolete.
     E.   New Procedure
          (1) All new production blades are put on a balance arbor that measures the moment of the blade.
              The new measurement is given in inch-pounds. The results of the new procedure gives a more
              precise measurement than in the old procedure.
               NOTE:      In the old procedure, a T stamp showed the trailing edge was light. Now a T stamp
                          shows that the trailing edge is heavy.
     F.   Use the New Procedure to Match Blades
          (1) With the new procedure for the stamps, a new procedure must be used to get a matched pair
               of blades for a propeller assembly. Any combination of horizontal or vertical data is satisfactory
               if the blades that are put together are within the tolerances specified in Table 1. The procedure
               can be used only for blades that have not been changed by polishing, grinding, or if the length
               has been decreased since the product was original.
               EXAMPLE:       A blade for a C200 series propeller is stamped 35.40 T.15. Use Table 1 and
                              find that the tolerance for this type of blade is as follows: horizontal +0.50 or
                              -0.50 inch-pounds. (+0.056 or -0.056 N-m), vertical +0.50 or -0.50 inch-pounds.
                              (+0.056 or -0.056 N-m). Therefore, a matching blade must be stamped from
                              34.90 to 35.90 and from T.65 to L.35.

           (1)   The old balance data should be changed to the new data. Then the data is compared with the
                 tolerances on Table 1 to find if it matches with another blade.
     H.    Horizontal Data
           (1) Horizontal data can be changed with the formula that follows (use master blade data from Table
                2):
                (a) Master Blade - (H x 0.003125 x diameter) = New Data
EXAMPLE:
                          An 82NC-4 blade stamped H14.L8. From Table 2, an 82NC-4 master blade is equal to
                          137.30. Use this formula:
                          137.30 -                   (14 x 0.003125 x 78)               = New Data
                          137.30 -                             3.41                     = 133.89
     I.    Vertical Data
           (1) Vertical data can be changed in the same way. Use the master blade data from Table 2 and one
                 of the four formulas that follow:
                 (a) If the master blade has a T stamp and the subject blade has a T stamp use:
                       1     Master blade - (T x 0.02) = New Data
                 (b) If the master blade has a T stamp and the subject blade has an L stamp use:
                       1     Master blade + (L x 0.02) = New Data
                 (c) If the master blade has an L stamp and the subject blade has a T stamp use:
                       1     Master blade + (T x 0.02) = New Data
                 (d) If the master blade has an L stamp and the subject blade has an L stamp use:
                       1     Master blade - (L x 0.02) = New Data
                            EXAMPLE:        An 82NC-4 blade stamped H14 L8. From Table 2 an 82NC-4 master
                                            blade is equal to L.12. Since the master has an L stamp and the
                                            example has an L stamp, you must use formula (d).
(Since the answer is initially a negative number, if it is changed from L to T, it is changed to a positive number.)
     J.    Blades with Modifications
           (1) When the blades have modifications that were made since the original production, the balance
                data on the blade and the procedure shown before is no longer usable. Therefore, to get a
                matching blade, you must grind the new blade until it has the weight characteristics equivalent
                to its matched blade. This will help to make sure that it is not necessary to use too many balance
                weights on the assembly.
                                                                                            61-10-00        Page 5

                            BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
(1)   Use the correct procedures and the correct, round-bottom steel stamp to identify a blade
      assembly which has been overhauled. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3.
      CAUTION: All data that is steel-stamped must be done before the chemical
               coating is applied.
      CAUTION: On threadless blades, do not use a steel stamp in the area of the
               actuating pin base seat.
      CAUTION: Use a round-bottom steel stamp to add the necessary information
               on the butt of a overhauled blade assembly.
(2)   Blade Identification with a Stamp at Diameter Reduction.
      (a) If the blades are returned to service on the original aircraft application, do the steps that
           follow:
           NOTE:      The propeller diameter limits are specified in the FAA Aircraft Type Certificate,
                      Supplemental Type Certificate, or in the international equivalent.
           1     When the blades in an assembly have a their diameter decreased, and they stay
                 within the diameter range specified in the Type Certificate data sheet for the aircraft
                 application, do not change the dash number in the blade model designation. Do not
                 change the dash number when the blade repair, the reconditioning, or the overhaul
                 changes the propeller diameter and the diameter is within the specified diameter
                 range for the aircraft application.
           2     If the amount the diameter is decreased is more than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), and for each
                 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter decrease after that, you must use an impression stamp
                 and apply the information on the blade butt after the abbreviation "DR-_." Refer to
                 Figure 2 and Figure 3.
                 a      Because of variations in the stamps on the blade, apply the stamps as close as
                        possible to the blade model designation.
                                                                                61-10-00       Page 7

                             NOTE:      Older blades which had a stamp applied again with a changed model
                                        designation must have a stamp applied again with the original model
                                        designation. Then it must show the diameter decrease as given in
                                        the above instructions.
             (b)  If the blades are used on another aircraft application where it is necessary to decrease the
                  diameter, do the steps that follow:

           NOTE:     Blades designed prior to this improvement, which have had threads shot-peened and
                     truncated, are identified by an S prefix on the blade model designation, and an S suffix
                     on the serial number (example: S-78FF-0, serial No. K10562YS).
     (2)   Retire from service all blades which do not have shot-peened and truncated threads.
F.   Examine the condition of the blade surfaces.
     (1) Make sure that the surfaces are not broken, chipped or peeling.
     (2) Examine the blade surfaces for corrosion
G.   Visually examine each blade for bends, cracks, scratches, dents, erosion, gouges, nicks and pitting.
     (1) Make sure to carefully examine the leading edge and face tip section of the blade.
     (2) If any signs are found, refer to the applicable repair criteria in Repair and Replacement, Blade
          Repair Procedures.
H.   Lay out the blade stations (Refer to Figure 514).
     (1) Use the correct threaded blade table to lay out the blade stations. (Refer to the appropriate
          Blade Dimensional Requirements section in this manual.)
          (a) Use a soft red or white, non-graphite pencil to lay out the stations.
NOTE: The blade station location has a +0.15 to -0.15 inch (+3.81 to -3.81 mm) tolerance.
     (2)   Make sure to account for the 0-inch station to the butt measurement.
I.   Do the bend angle inspection. (Refer to Figure 508 for the maximum allowable bend angle for the
     cold repair.)
NOTE: If any dimension is out of the specifications in Figure 508, the blade must be retired.
     NOTE:      If the blade is bent but repairable, it will be necessary to straighten the blade to an
                acceptable, normal appearance before the repair. Refer to the Repair and Replacement,
                Blade Repair Procedures, Blade Bend Straightening, Pre-Straightening an Extensive
                Large-Radius Bend, for the blade bending procedures.
     (1)   Measure the included angle (in degrees) of the bend in face alignment between points of
           tangency found one inch (25.4 mm) on each side of the bend center line.
     (2)   Measure the angle at several points on the large radius bend where the centerline is not well-
           defined. Consider and use only the maximum measurement.
     (3)   Reject any blade with bends from the leading to the trailing edge.
           NOTE:     No repairs are authorized for blades with bends from the leading to the trailing edge.
J.   Install the Blade in the Work Adapter.
     (1) Before you put the blade in the work adapter, visually examine the threaded portion of the adapter
           for nicks, burrs, or other damage. One procedure to examine the work adapter is as follows:
NOTE: Any damage on the work adapter can cause a scratch in the blade thread.
           (a) Paint the blade threads of an unairworthy, test blade with blue layout dye.
           (b) Let the dye dry.
           (c) Install the blade in the work adapter.
           (d) Remove the blade from the work adapter.
           (e) Examine the blade for scratches in the dye.
     (2)   Make sure that the threaded parts and threaded work adapter are clean.

NOTE: These checks are for the width and thickness, angles and face alignment.
          (1)   Make sure the blade dimensions agree with the applicable dimensions in the appropriate
                threaded blade table in the Blade Dimensional Requirements section in this manual.
                NOTE:     If the diameter of a propeller has been decreased to a dimension that is between the
                          diameters recorded in the repair tables, the repair dimensions must be interpolated.
                NOTE:     If a diameter is 0.063 inch (1.6 mm) or more below a given diameter, use the next
                          lower 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) increment.
                          EXAMPLE:        If diameter is 0.063 inch (1.6 mm) less than 94 inch (2.39 m), use the
                                          93.5 inch (2.37 m) specifications.
          (2)   Measure the face alignment and compare to the applicable threaded blade table in the Blade
                Dimensional Requirements section in this manual. Adjust the face alignment if not in accordance
                with the specified limits.
          (3)   Measure the angles and compare to the applicable threaded blade table in the Blade
                Dimensional Requirements section in this manual. Adjust the angles if not in accordance with
                the specified limits.
     L.   Do the Fluorescent Dye Penetrant Inspection Procedure.
3.   Ferrule Inspection
     A.   Do an inspection of the Ferrules (Refer to Figure 516).
          NOTE:      These checks are for a sharp edge on the first 2 to 3 threads on the inside (minor) diameter
                     of outboard ferrule retention threads.
                 CAUTION: All ferrule threads must be examined for nicks, gouges, or other
                          damage. This damage can cause damage the blade threads.
           (3)   Examine all ferrule threads for nicks, gouges, or other damage.
                 (a)   As necessary, repair the ferrule.      Refer to Repair and Replacement, Ferrule Repair
                       Procedures.
NOTE: Ferrules with sharp edges on the first 2 to 3 threads can be repaired in the field.

           NOTE:     Any burrs or upset edges on the contact surface can cause an unwanted stress
                     concentration.
           NOTE:     Actuating pins must have a smooth, glossy finish in the area that contacts the blade
                     actuating links. Pins with a dull finish can be lightly polished with a crocus cloth. If you
                     cannot get a smooth, glossy surface finish, the blade actuating pin must be replaced.
                     (This procedure is appropriate for all propellers, but particularly important for oil filled
                     propellers.)
      B.   Do visual and fluorescent dye penetrant inspections on the retention nut. Refer to the Standard
           Practices Manual, Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures.
      C.   Visually examine the blade shims and actuating pin spacer. The contact surfaces of the spacer must
           be a smooth flat surface.

                         (not a 12-point) deep well socket. The corners of the pin hex are
                         slightly rounded. A 12-point wrench will slide over these corners and
                         cause damage to the pin. This damage will make the pin removal
                         difficult.
          (2)   Remove the lockwire, actuating pin, and spacer washer.
          (3)   Fabricate a split holding fixture which fits the blade contour at the 9 inch (228.6 mm) station.
                NOTE:      Unless the fixture is fabricated from fiber, it must be padded with leather or a heavy
                           cloth material where it contacts the blade. When padding is necessary, it is put at the
                           bottom of the stand to rest the blade tip.
                (a) Rigidly fasten the fixture to a heavy stand that is anchored to the floor.
          (4)   Use the B-3023 actuating pin tool on the C21 propeller models.

Figure 301
NOTE: The anchoring means must not attach to, or bear against, the blade.
NOTE: The balance of the balls and separators will come out readily.
                 CAUTION: When you remove the blade actuating pin for the C18 and C45, use
                          a deep, 6-point (not 12-point) wrench. The corners of the pin hex
                          are rounded slightly. A 12-point wrench will slide over these corners
                          and cause damage to the pin. This will make the removal difficult.
          (7)    Put the blade on a bench top.
                 (a) Be careful that the loosened parts do not cause damage to the blade as it is turned over.
                       1    The best practice is to tighten the preload nut by hand.
                 (b) Remove the packing out of the groove in the ferrule.
                 (c) Stretch the packing to remove it from the ferrule flange (for C1-US only).
          (8)    For the C1, after you remove the four cap screws from each blade, turn the pin so that one end
                 extends over the edge of the ferrule.
(a) To remove the pin, tap on an end and pull on the pin.
NOTE: The short end of the pin is a dowel that has a light press-fit in the ferrule.
3. Ferrule Removal
     NOTE:      At each overhaul, or each major blade repair (bent), the ferrule must be removed to complete a
                penetrant inspection of the blade and a magnetic inspection of the ferrule. Refer to the Standard
                Practices Manual, Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures. You can remove the ferrule before
                the overhaul to replace the damaged or worn parts. An inspection of the blade and ferrule is
                completed whenever the ferrule is removed. When the ferrule is removed, all the parts of the
                blade assembly (except the ferrule) are kept with the blade for assembly.
     A.   Remove the Ferrule without the Freezing Procedure.
          (1) Fabricate a split holding fixture which fits the blade contour at the 9 inch (229 mm) station. Refer
              to Figure 301.
                NOTE:      Unless the fixture is fabricated from fiber, it must be padded with leather or a heavy
                           cloth material where it contacts the blade. When necessary, padding is put at the
                           bottom of the stand to rest the blade tip.
(a) Rigidly fasten the fixture to a heavy stand that is anchored to the floor.
                      NOTE:      Heavy duty ferrule wrenches (part number D-3025, D-4415, D-4416) are used
                                 to remove ferrules without freezing. If the wrench slips, a short pin, plain or
                                 threaded, can be put through the proper hole in the wrench to engage the
                                 actuating pin hole in the ferrule. For the C21 blade assembly only, ferrule
                                 wrench part number D-3025, with adapter, B-3071, can be used with or without
                                 freezing. The adapter must be used in the heavy duty wrench for the C21 blade
                                 assembly.
          (2)   Put the ferrule wrench in position so that the ferrule wrench bar (D-3025-5) will extend into the
                desired section of the work area. Refer to Figure 302 and Figure 303.
C29
Figure 302
                 NOTE:      The opposite end of the bar has a solid bar inside the rectangular tubing. If extra
                            leverage is necessary, the extension bar D-4430 is put in the opposite end to
                            replace the solid bar. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Tool List.
                 CAUTION: If the ferrule wrench slips when you try to loosen the ferrule,
                          do not continue the turning motion. Tighten the ferrule wrench
                          screws again, or install a pin, and then continue.
                 NOTE:      If the ferrule does not release from the blade, even if you try again and again,
                            try to remove it with the freezing procedure.
     (3)   Push hard against the end of the bar in a counterclockwise (clockwise for left threaded ferrule)
           direction to loosen the right threaded ferrule.
           (a) If necessary, put the outer end of the bar on a rail (saw horse) to help hold the bar during
                 the procedure.
     (4)   When the ferrule breaks loose, the ferrule staking plug (if applicable) will pop out.
           NOTE:      This is an accepted procedure for the plug removal. The ferrule staking plug is no
                      longer necessary. It is possible that blade assemblies manufactured during 1971 and
                      after 1971 will not have a staking plug. The plug is not necessary for assembly of the
                      blade even if it was there during the disassembly.
     (5)   In approximately one-eighth turn, the ferrule will loosen sufficiently to permit the removal of the
           ferrule wrench.
     (6)   Remove the ferrule with your hand.
     (7)   Lift the loose parts, the retention nut, bearings, and other parts, off the blade.
     (8)   Use plastic or rubber protectors to prevent damage to the threads on the blade butt. Refer to
           Figure 304.
B.   Remove the Ferrule With the Freezing Procedure.
     NOTE:       The ferrule end of the blade assembly can be frozen to help with the disassembly. When
                 the blade assembly is frozen, the aluminum blade will shrink more than the steel ferrule.
                 This helps to loosen the threaded surfaces and makes the ferrule removal easier.
     CAUTION: Do not use a metal container, unless it is lined. This will help prevent
              damage to the parts. Make sure that the container is large enough to
              hold two (or more) blade assemblies so that the blade assemblies do
              not cause damage to the parts or to each other.
     (1)   Use a bucket or suitable rubber or plastic container which conveniently holds at least two upright
           blade assemblies.
     (2)   Fill the container to a depth of 5 inches (127 mm) with an approved solvent.
           WARNING: Dry ice chunks must be added one at a time, with a time interval
                    in between, to decrease the temperature gradually. If the dry
                    ice chunks are added too rapidly, the solvent can tend to boil
                    out of the container. Use thick gloves, not bare hands, when
                    you move the dry ice chunks.
     (3)   As necessary, break the dry ice into small (approximately one-pound (4.45 N)) chunks.

(4) To decrease the temperature, put the chunks into the solvent one at a time.
      NOTE:      A heavy frost formation on the outside of the container to the fluid level will generally
                 indicate the desired temperature (-70°F to -80°F) (-57°C to -65°C) in a normally
                 heated working area.
      (a) As necessary, add dry ice to keep the solvent at the desired temperature.
(5)   Put the ferrule end of the blade assembly into the cold solvent and let it stay there until frost
      forms on the blade to the 12 inch (305.00 mm) station.
(6)   After the freezing procedure is complete, use gloves and put the blade and attached parts in
      position in the split holding fixture.
      NOTE:      Heavy duty ferrule wrenches are used to remove ferrules without the freezing
                 procedure. If the wrench should slip, a short pin, plain or threaded, can be put
                 through the proper hole in the wrench to engage the actuating pin hole in the ferrule.
C31
Figure 304
          (7)   When necessary, insert the ferrule wrench adapter, part number B-3141, in the ferrule wrench,
                part number D-3025, so that the adapter slot axis extends across all four of the bolts of the ferrule
                wrench.
          (8)   Put the ferrule wrench in position so that the ferrule wrench bar will extend into the desired
                section of work area. Refer to Figure 302 and Figure 303.
                (a) Tighten the ferrule wrench screws uniformly.
                      1    Make several passes around the screws to make sure that each one is tight.
                (b) If necessary, put the plain end of the bar through the clamp opening until the stop pin
                      touches the ferrule wrench OD.
                      NOTE:      The opposite end of the bar has a solid bar inside the rectangular tubing. If extra
                                 leverage is necessary, the extension bar D-4430 is put in the opposite end to
                                 replace the solid bar. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Tool List.
                      CAUTION: If the ferrule wrench slips when you try to loosen the ferrule,
                               do not continue the turning motion. Tighten the ferrule wrench
                               screws again, or install a pin, and then continue.
          (9)   To prevent tool damage, do the freezing procedure again for stubborn assemblies.
                (a) Let the blades stay in the solvent until the frost forms to the 18 inch (457.20 mm) station
                     on the second and subsequent freezing procedures.
     C.   Post-Removal Procedures.
          CAUTION: After the ferrule is removed, it cannot be installed on the same blade.
          (1)   Ferrules with counterweight alignment etch marks must have the etch marks crossed out to
                prevent confusion at assembly.
                (a) Find the scribe mark on the ferrule that was used to put the counterweights in position.
NOTE: The scribe mark is found on the OD at the extreme outboard end.
                (b)  Use a hard, sharp tool, and scribe a line approximately 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) wide by
                     0.010 inch (0.254 mm) deep that makes a + mark across the existing line.
          (2)   To prevent unnecessary procedures, do a check of the items that follow:
                (a) Measure the minimum distance between the actuating pin holes. Refer to Reassembly,
                     Figure 707.
(b) Make sure that no more than four holes are drilled in the ferrule.
                      NOTE:      No more than four (4) holes can be drilled in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is required for
                                 the actuating pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be scrapped.
     NOTE:      After the ferrule is removed, and found to be reuseable, the actuating pin holes must be made
                unusable.
     A.   Change the Broken-Through Actuating Pin Holes.
          (1) Drill through the holes that break through into the blend radius of the ferrule with a 1/2 inch (12.7
              mm) diameter drill bit or a ball-end, 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) end mill.
NOTE: The drill bit must be changed to have a full radius end instead of a point.
(2) Round and polish the sharp corner left in the bend radius and bearing shaft as follows:
(a) Use a 3/8 x 3/4 carbide burr tool in a high speed drill or similar hand-held power tool.
      NOTE:      You can get the carbide burr tool, part number CB44, from the Metal Removal
                 Co., Chicago, Illinois. Or you can use an equivalent carbide burr tool.
      CAUTION: Do not machine away too much excess metal. Machine just
               enough to remove the sharp corners from the side of the ferrule
               and leave a smooth surface.
(b)   Round all the corners of the back side of the actuating pin hole to approximately 1/16 inch
      (1.6 mm) radius. Refer to Figure 305.
(c)   Make sure to carefully round the corner blend radius.
      CAUTION: Some ferrules have had the threads removed by filing, and the
               file marks are not removed by the finishing procedure. All such
               file marks must be removed.
(d)   Use 120 grit spiral roll or emery cloth to remove the file marks.
NOTE: Some of the file marks can be some distance from the tapped hole.
(e)   Use a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) diameter by 1-inch (25.4 mm) long 120-grit spiral roll in the power
      tool to finish the surfaces to approximately 32 RMS.
      NOTE:      You can get the 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) diameter by 1-inch (25.4 mm) long 120-
                 grit spiral roll from the Field Abrasives Co., Dayton, Ohio. Or you can use an
                 equivalent 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) diameter by 1-inch (25.4) long 120-grit spiral roll.
(f) Make sure that surfaces are smooth and free from nicks, burrs, or scratches.
C32
BEFOREAFTER
Figure 305
           CAUTION: Do not remove the threads from the blind tapped holes.
     (1)   Use a 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) diameter, blunt/rounded rod and stake the first thread in four places.
     WARNING: Methyl propyl ketone is highly flammable and may be toxic with
              prolonged exposure. Use only in well ventilated area free from
              excessive heat, sparks, or open flame. Avoid skin contact and
              inhalation of vapors.
     NOTE:      Do not attempt to install ferrule on same blade from which it was removed. Torque requirements
                for ferrule installation are critical and almost certain to vary from original installation, making it
                impossible to position actuating pin hole properly with relation to blade. If neither ferrule nor
                blade have been replaced, use new ferrule or one from another blade assembly. A used ferrule
                is acceptable provided that after installation, using following procedures, a new hole can be
                drilled and tapped for the actuating pin at least 1 inch (25.4 mm), edge to edge, from the old
                one. (Refer to Figure 707.)
     A.   Make sure that no more than four holes are drilled in the ferrule.
          NOTE:       No more than four holes can be drilled in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is required for the actuating
                      pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be scrapped.
     B.   Use the following instructions when installing ferrule on the blade:
          (1) Clean the blade and ferrule threads with methyl propyl ketone or another approved solvent and
               allow to dry.
          (2) Apply an even coat of Lubri-Kote A 1040 CR to the blade threads. (Refer to Figure 701.)
               (a) Make sure blade is in a horizontal position and avoid heavy applications tending to cause
                     runs or drips.
                      NOTE:         Do not coat last two inboard blade threads from the butt end of blade or the last
                                    outboard blade thread.
                NOTE:       Do not coat the last two inboard threads of ferrule measured from butt end of the
                            ferrule.
                (a) Make sure ferrule is held in a horizontal position to avoid runs or drips.
          (4)   Place the assembly in a holding fixture.
          (5)   Hand-thread ferrule onto blade until dimension B per Table 701 as shown in Figure 702 is
                achieved.
                NOTE:      McCauley allows the use of the C-4450 ferrule in place of the C-4451 ferrule, however,
                           all of the propeller blades in the propeller assembly must have the same part number
                           ferrule installed.
          (6)   Apply RTV 109 to the entire circumference of the exposed ferrule threads. Torque ferrule hand-
                tight and remove any excess sealant from ferrule/blade joint.
                (a) Force sealant into threads with fingers.

TORQUE WRENCH
FERRULE WRENCH
               (a) Put the torque wrench on the bolt hex of the extension bar so that the torque wrench center
                   line is in line with the center of the ferrule wrench to insure correct results.
               (b) The projecting bar should be supported at outer end by a rail (saw horse) to facilitate
                   operation.
               (c) Using torque wrench applied through the hex head of capscrew at outer end of bar, tighten
                   the ferrule to a final torque of 1240 to 1360 foot pounds (1681 to 1844 N-m). (Refer to
                   Figure 704.)
          (11) Remove the ferrule wrench bar.
          (12) Measure and record the final standoff dimension A. (Refer to Figure 702.)
               (a) Subtract the final measurement value of the standoff from the preliminary measurement
                   value.
               (b) Make sure the difference is 0.028 inch (0.711 mm) maximum to 0.012 inch (0.305 mm)
                   minimum.
               (c) If the standoff is less than the 0.012 inch (0.305 mm) minimum, increase the torque by
                   increments of 100 foot-pounds (135.6 N-m), not to exceed 1800 foot-pounds (2440.5 N-m),
                   until the minimum standoff is achieved.
               NOTE:      Quality control and inspection procedures must establish that before- and
                          after-standoff dimensions are measured and recorded to assure proper seating
                          of ferrule on the blade. The preliminary torque is required for control and proper
                          assembly procedure.
          (13) If correct standoff dimension cannot be achieved, ferrule must be removed and procedure
               repeated using a different ferrule. Blade threads must be completely cleaned of sealant before
               repeating process.
          (14) Upon completion of the torque operation, smooth inboard sealing joint with finger. Do not use
               solvent to remove excess sealant.
               NOTE:      Allow minimum 12 hours drying time after sealant application before propeller
                          assembly is run up on engine.
          (15) Apply a bead of RTV109 around the entire circumference of the outboard blade to ferrule
               interface.
          (16) Allow the RTV to cure for a minimum of 12 hours at ambient temperature.
          (17) With a nonmetallic object with a diameter of 0.030 inch, +0.010 or -0.010 inch (0.76 mm, +0.25
               or -0.25 mm), puncture six or eight equally spaced holes in the cured RTV at the outboard end
               of the ferrule.
               NOTE:      These holes will allow dyed oil to escape if a crack has developed in the thread area
                          of the blade.

                                 BAR
     WARNING: Methyl propyl ketone is highly flammable and may be toxic with
              prolonged exposure. Use only in well ventilated area free from
              excessive heat, sparks, or open flame. Avoid skin contact and
              inhalation of vapors.
     NOTE:      Do not attempt to install ferrule on same blade from which it was removed. Torque requirements
                for ferrule installation are critical and almost certain to vary from original installation, making it
                impossible to position actuating pin hole properly with relation to blade. If neither ferrule nor
                blade have been replaced, use new ferrule or one from another blade assembly. A used ferrule
                is acceptable provided that after installation, using following procedures, a new hole can be
                drilled and tapped for the actuating pin at least 1 inch (25.4 mm), edge to edge, from the old
                one. (Refer to Figure 707.)
     A.   Make sure that no more than four holes are drilled in the ferrule.
          NOTE:      No more than four (4) holes can be drilled in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is required for the
                     actuating pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be scrapped.
     B.   Use the following instructions when installing ferrule on the blade:
          (1) Clean the blade and ferrule threads with methyl propyl ketone and allow to dry.
          (2) Apply an even coat of Lubri-Kote A 1040 CR to the blade threads. (Refer to Figure 706.)
               (a) Make sure blade is in a horizontal position and avoid heavy applications tending to cause
                     runs or drips.
               (b) Allow the lubricant to dry.
          (3) Brush a thin even film of Orelube Compound K-2 to the ferrule threads. (Refer to Figure 706.)
               (a) Make sure ferrule is held in a horizontal position to avoid runs or drips.
          (4) Place the assembly in a holding fixture.
          (5) Hand-thread ferrule onto the blade.

                 (d) Check if the location for the actuating hole appears to be located at least 1 inch (25.4 mm)
                     from all other old holes after the final torque will be applied.
                     1      If the potential location of the actuating pin hole is questionable, try a different ferrule.
          (8) Position ferrule wrench so that ferrule wrench bar will project into a desired section of the work
               area. (Refer to Figure 704.)
          (9) With the hex head of the cap screw on the outer end of the extension bar on the top, slip the
               ferrule wrench bar through openings in ferrule wrench until the stop pin at the inner end abuts
               the ferrule wrench outer diameter.
               (a) Put the torque wrench on the bolt hex of the extension bar so that the torque wrench center
                     line is in line with the center of the ferrule wrench to insure correct results.
               (b) The projecting bar should be supported at outer end by a rail (saw horse) to facilitate
                     operation.
               (c) Using torque wrench applied through hex head of capscrew at outer end of bar, tighten the
                     ferrule to a final torque of 1240 to 1360 foot pounds (1681 to 1844 N-m). (Refer to Figure
                     704.)
          (10) Remove the ferrule wrench bar.
          (11) Measure the final standoff dimension A. (Refer to Figure 702.)
               (a) Subtract the final measurement value of the standoff from the preliminary measurement
                     value.
               (b) Make sure the difference is 0.028 inch (0.711 mm) maximum, to 0.012 inch (0.305 mm)
                     minimum.
               (c) If the standoff is less than the 0.012 inch (0.305 mm) minimum, increase the torque by
                     increments of 100 foot-pounds (135.6 N-m), not to exceed 1800 foot-pounds (2440.5 N-m),
                     until the minimum standoff is achieved.
                 NOTE:      Quality control and inspection procedures must establish that before and after
                            standoff dimensions are measured and recorded to assure proper seating of ferrule
                            on the blade. The preliminary torque is required for control and proper assembly
                            procedure.
                 NOTE:      If correct standoff dimension cannot be achieved, the ferrule must be removed and
                            procedure repeated using a different ferrule.
          (12) Place blade assembly upright on bench top. Use methyl propyl ketone to clean outer end of
               ferrule and round shank of blade, and in particular the pocket (groove) at end of ferrule where
               blade threads run out. Dry with cloth and allow thinner to evaporate. Best to use clean dry
               compressed air directed into groove.
          (13) Apply RTV109 into the circumferential groove at end of ferrule at blade-ferrule junction. (Refer
               to Figure 702.) Apply so that sealant flows into opening. Form a small fillet between ferrule and
               blade with a finger. Prior to setting, remove excess material with methyl propyl ketone.
                 NOTE:      Allow minimum 12 hours drying time after sealant application before propeller
                            assembly is run up on engine.
     NOTE:       The following instructions apply to threaded feathering propellers and ONLY the threaded
                 constant speed propellers listed below. Follow instructions for drilling all other ferrules in Drilling
                 Ferrule (Threaded Constant Speed Propellers).
     A.   Procedure
          (1) Cover blade with blade wrap.
          (2) Install the assembled ferrule and blade in the appropriate field staking fixture (refer to Table 702
               or Table 704), with adapter, part number B-3138, if required.
          (3)   Install assembly so that it is snug, but not so tight that ferrule cannot be turned. (Refer to Figure
                708.)
          (4)   The four sides and various holes in the fixture are identified by letters A, B, C, and D. These
                letters are keyed to propeller model numbers stamped on fixture. Refer to Table 703 or Table
                705 for the fixture side applicable to a specific propeller model.
                NOTE:      No more than four holes may be drilled in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is required for
                           actuating pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be retired.
                NOTE:      The minimum distance between actuating pin holes is (1) one inch (25.4 mm) from
                           edge to edge. (Refer to Figure 707.)

NOTE 1: If existing field staking fixture is not marked to show side applicable to propeller model, stamp fixture
        on correct side to show propeller model.
      CAUTION: Use an accurate protractor and use care to make sure that
               relationship between the fixture and the blade is precise. This
               adjustment will determine location of blade actuating pin, which in
               turn will determine the blade angle when the propeller is assembled.
(5)   Position the fixture so that the side corresponding to the propeller model number is parallel to
      the face side of the blade at it's reference station. (Refer to Figure 708.)
NOTE: Refer to Table 703 or Table 705 for location of reference station.
           NOTE:       An illustrative set up on drill press with operation being performed on blade
                       assembly is shown in Figure 709.
           CAUTION: Do not use a drill bit 29/64 (0.453) inch (11.5 mm) diameter
                    to make the actuating pin hole. A drill bit of that diameter will
                    produce an oversized hole and result in insufficient thread for
                    holding the actuating pin.
(8)   Get two drill bits, one with a standard point (to start hole) and one a flat-bottom drill with a
      machine-ground radius on the butting lip (refer to Figure 710), to produce a blind hole of 0.446
      to 0.452 inch (11.33 to 11.48 mm) diameter. Both drill bits must be modified with ground flutes
      to create desired diameter.
      CAUTION: Power feed equipment is not suitable for drilling and tapping
               actuating pin threads. Use of such equipment may produce a local
               bulge (pimple) in the bearing shelf of ferrule. If any bulge is present,
               however slight, the ferrule must be removed and replaced. Any
               ferrule with a bulge in the bearing shelf shall not be reused in the
               same blade assembly. Ferrules with bulges, however, may be used
               in a different blade assembly provided that a through hole is drilled
               per instructions in Disassembly, Actuating Pin Hole Modification.
(9)   Feed the drill bit by hand. Withdraw frequently and clean out chips, particularly as the maximum
      depth is approached.
      (a) Start hole with the standard point drill bit to a maximum depth of 0.150 inch (3.81 mm).
      (b) Continue drilling with the flat-bottom drill bit to depths as given in Table 706.
                            CAUTION: If the lock wire hole goes into the actuating pin hole,
                                     remove the ferrule from service, the ferrule is scrap.

                (b)    For other 2-blade models, loosen the field staking fixture screws and rotate ferrule so that
                       the hole for the actuating pin is under the hole in the fixture about 15 degrees from the
                       small angular bushing marked BCD or ABCD.
                (c)    Use a 1/2-20 cap screw in the hole and actuating pin hole to secure the fixture.
NOTE: There is no limit on the number of safety wire holes permitted in ferrules.
                (d)    Tighten the fixture screws and drill the lockwire hole through the ferrule using angular
                       bushing as a guide.

          NOTE:       It may be necessary to use a gage block under the field staking fixture (as shown in Figure
                      711) to provide enough clearance between the blade and the work surface.
          (1)   Loosen fixture screws just enough so that blade can be rotated with the trailing edge pointed up.
          (2)   Position fixture and blade assembly on flat surface (surface plate), supporting blade tip with a
                small jack so that blade centerline is horizontal.
          (3)   Use an angle gage to position the blade so that face side is at proper blade staking angle (refer
                to Table 705) with respect to work surface at the reference station (105.0 degrees, +0.5 or -0.5
                degrees for CT69).
                NOTE:      For a pusher blade, the flat side and angle gage would be on opposite side as viewed
                           in position shown in Figure 711. The scriber would be positioned on face side of blade
                           (still left hand side viewing from root to tip) to make scribe mark as directed in step
                           (7) below.
                NOTE:      An alternate method using a V-block instead of the field staking fixture is also
                           approved. Otherwise, the procedures are the same.
          (4)   Maintaining the blade angle at reference station, make sure that blade centerline is parallel with
                work surface. To do this, use a square to check that back face of the fixture (or ferrule) is square
                with the work surface.
                NOTE:      Figure 711, Scribing for Counterweight Installation, may appear skewed.             It is
                           imperative that blade centerline is parallel with work surface.
          (5)   Tighten fixture screws. Again check blade angle at reference station and squareness of fixture
                with work surface. Readjust if necessary.
                CAUTION: When you scribe a mark on the ferrule, do not let scriber touch blade
                         shank area.
          (8)  After you make the initial scribe mark with the height gage, intensify the mark using a hard, sharp
               hand tool. The mark should be approximately 0.0010 inch (0.025 mm) deep.
          (9) Fill scribe mark with black paint or lacquer. Remove any excess paint at sides of mark.
          (10) If there are other scribe marks on the ferrule, make a scribe mark across the prior mark to form
               a plus sign to signify that the old mark will not be used.

     NOTE:         The following instructions apply to only the threaded constant speed propellers listed below.
                   Follow instructions for drilling all other ferrules in Drilling Ferrule (Feathering Propellers and
                   Selected Constant Speed).
     A.   Procedure
          (1) Cover blade with blade wrap.
          (2) Install the assembled ferrule and blade in the appropriate field staking fixture (refer to Table 702
               or Table 704), with adapter, part number B-3138, if required.
          (3) Install assembly so that it is snug, but not so tight that ferrule cannot be turned. (Refer to Figure
               708.)
          (4) The four sides and various holes in the fixture are identified by letters A, B, C, and D. These
               letters are keyed to propeller model numbers stamped on fixture. Refer to Table 703 or Table
               705 for the fixture side applicable to a specific propeller model.
                   NOTE:      No more than four (4) holes may be drilled in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is required for
                              actuating pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be retired.
                   NOTE:      The minimum distance between actuating pin holes is 1 inch (25.4 mm) from edge to
                              edge. (Refer to Figure 707.)
          (5)      Position the fixture so that side corresponding to propeller model number is parallel to the thrust,
                   or flat side of the blade at it's reference station. (Refer to Figure 708.)
NOTE: Refer to Table 703 or Table 705 for location of reference station.
                  CAUTION: Power feed equipment is not suitable for drilling and tapping
                           actuating pin threads. Use of such equipment may produce a local
                           bulge (pimple) in the bearing shelf of ferrule. If any bulge is present,
                           however slight, the ferrule must be removed and replaced. Any
                           ferrule with a bulge in the bearing shelf shall not be reused in the
                           same blade assembly. Ferrules with bulges, however, may be used
                           in a different blade assembly provided that a through hole is drilled
                           per instructions in Disassembly, Actuating Pin Hole Modification.
           (9)    Feed the drill bit by hand. Withdraw frequently and clean out chips, particularly as the maximum
                  depth is approached.
                  (a) Start hole with the standard point drill bit to a maximum depth of 0.150 inch (3.81 mm).
                  (b) Continue drilling with the flat-bottom drill bit to depths as given in Table 708.
NOTE: Hole for ferrule staking plug is not required. Ferrule staking plug is no longer used.
           (11) Tap 1/2-20 UNF-H1 or H2 to the minimum depth given in Table 708. Start with a standard
                bottoming tap (1 to 1-1/2 thread chamfer) to a maximum of 3 threads. Complete tapping with
                the modified bottoming tap shown in Figure 710 to the minimum depth listed in Table 708.
           (12) Withdraw the tap frequently and clean out chips, particularly as the proper depth is approached,
                to avoid producing a bulge (pimple) in the bearing shelf.
           (13) Tap the thread to the correct depth.
                (a) Remove all chips and lubricant (clean with solvent and blow dry with clean dry air).
                (b) Check the threads with a standard GO, NO-GO, 1/2-20UNF-3B thread gage.
           (14) Drill a 0.062 inch (1.6 mm) diameter lockwire hole through the ferrule as follows:
                (a) If use of the part number B-3253 (Table 707) or B-3139 (Table 709) drill fixture is indicated
                       remove field staking fixture from ferrule.
                       1    Attach drill fixture to the ferrule using a 1/2-20UNF-3A x 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) socket
                            head cap screw in the blade actuating pin hole.
                       2    Drill the lockwire hole through ferrule using drill fixture.

                  (b)   For other 2-blade models, loosen the field staking fixture screws and rotate ferrule so that
                        the hole for the actuating pin is under the hole in the fixture about 15 degrees from the
                        small angular bushing marked BCD or ABCD.
(c) Use a 1/2-20 cap screw in the hole and actuating pin hole to secure the fixture.
NOTE: There is no limit on the number of safety wire holes permitted in ferrules.
                (d)  Tighten the fixture screws and drill the lockwire hole through the ferrule using angular
                     bushing as a guide.
          (15) For all 3-blade models, drill lockwire hole using small angular hole marked ABCD in the field
               staking fixture.
     B.   Drill 0.062 inch (1.62 mm) diameter lockwire hole through ferrule as follows:
          (1) Remove burrs after drilling.
                NOTE:      Refer to Scribing for Counterweight Position, for instructions to scribe ferrule for
                           counter weight location applicable to propeller model CT69. Ferrule scribing must
                           be accomplished while field staking fixture is installed and before installing blade
                           actuating pin.
     C.   Remove fixture from ferrule.
          (1) Before installing actuating pin, use a 3/8 by 3/4 inch (9.52 by 19.05 mm) carbide burr tool (The
              Metal Improvement Co., Chicago, Ill. part No. CB44 or equivalent) in a high speed drill or similar
              hand-held power tool to remove all threads above top shelf of ferrule flange where tapped hole
              breaks into blend radius and side of ferrule.
                CAUTION: Do not machine away excess metal. Take off just enough to remove
                         all traces of threads from side of ferrule and leave a smooth surface.
          (2)   Round all corners of back side of actuating pin hole to approximately 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) radius
                with particular attention to corner blend radius.
                CAUTION: Some ferrules may have had these threads removed by filing, and
                         file marks not removed by finishing. Remove all such file marks
                         (may be some distance from tapped hole) with 120 grit spiral roll or
                         emery cloth. Do not use file to remove these threads.
          (3)   Finish surfaces to approximately 32 RMS using a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter by 1 inch (25.4
                mm) long 120 grit spiral roll (manufactured by Field Abrasives Co., Dayton, Ohio, or equivalent)
                in the power tool. Make sure that surfaces are smooth and free from nicks, burrs, or scratches.
8.   Cleaning
     A.   Clean All Parts With Solvent. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Cleaning.
     CAUTION: When installing blade actuating pin, use a deep well socket, 6-point (not a
              12-point) wrench. The corners of the pin hex are rounded slightly. A 12-point
              wrench will slide over these corners and will damage the pin.
     NOTE:      Before installing actuating pin, check that threads in previous holes in the ferrule have either been
                made unusable or removed from and that broken-through holes have been properly processed
                (refer to Disassembly, Actuating Pin Hole Modification and Figure 305).
     A.   Support blade on bench top or clamp in split wooden holding fixture, taking precaution that loose parts
          do not damage blade. Lightly coat threads of actuating pin with Loctite #2 or Permatex #2. Install
          actuating pin with 75 to 80 foot-pounds torque. Be certain that spacer washer is installed. For 3-blade
          constant speed models, defer installation of actuating pin and spacer washer until after installation of
          shims and checking blade shake.
           CAUTION: Be certain that proper actuating pin and spacer are used. If a short
                    spacer is used, the actuating pin will bottom in the blind thread and will
                    not clinch spacer tightly. After seating pin with correct torque, check that
                    spacer is tight and cannot be moved sideways. Refer to Repair and
                    Replacement, Table 602 and 603 for pin and spacer.
           CAUTION: Only blade assemblies with the same part number actuating pins shall
                    be installed in the same propeller.
           NOTE:      For C21 only, actuating pin tool B-3023 must be used. Install with 40 to 45 foot-pounds (54
                      to 61 N-m) torque.
           (1)   Thoroughly clean pin with methyl propyl ketone and appropriate squareness gauge, then
                 lubricate both with thin oil. Slide gauge on pin.
           (2)   Check with tri-square or machinist square against outer diameter of gauge, that squareness is
                 not more than 0.003 inch (0.076 mm) out at top or bottom of gauge. Check two places 90° apart.
           (3)   Attach twisted lockwire between ferrule and pin.

                                            BOLTS AND NUTS
      B.   Shim Installation.
           (1) By trial, select a single shim which will just permit reinstallation of the retaining ring in the ferrule
               groove.
               (a) A shim thickness of 0.010 to 0.016 inch (0.25 mm to 0.41 mm) will be adequate for most
                     installations.
           (2) Move the retaining ring up and temporarily secure it on the blade shank.
           (3) Lubricate all surfaces of the shim with Orelube K-2, and install shim by carefully opening and
               working over blade, then slide it down in place in retention nut counterbore.
               (a) If two shims are required, each should be approximately the same thickness, if it is not
                     possible to use two of same thickness, install the thinner shim between retention nut and
                     thicker shim.
           (4) Loosen or remove the assembly from the seating fixture.
               (a) Rotate the cam of the two blade fixture so the opposite (lower) face is up.
               (b) Remove the spacer from the three blade fixture.
           (5) Insert the blade in the fixture again, and tighten the retention nut.
           (6) Hold a wood block (2 x 4 inch (51 x 102 mm)) against blade tip with wood grain at right angles
               to the blade width.
           (7) Tap the wood block with a lead hammer mallet to loosen parts preparatory to blade shake
               measurement.
           (8) Suspend or fix a scale slightly above blade tip, and, with fingers, move blade tip back and forth
               (lead to trail) and record total movement.
                 NOTE:      Exert force in a direction in line with blade width (lead edge to trail edge), not against
                            blade thickness (camber to face), to avoid bending blade.
                 NOTE:      Blade shake is the tendency for blade to wobble slightly when tip is physically
                            moved by hand. This tendency is natural. An assembly of parts to high limits of
                            close tolerances would have little or no shake, while parts to low limits will result in
                            comparatively high tip movement.
           (9)   If total movement exceeds 0.031 inch (0.79 mm), repeat operation with next thicker shim,
                 recheck blade shake before taking torque measurement, and repeat procedure.
      C.   Check Rotational Force.
           (1) Rotate blade approximately 180 degrees back and forth at least five times.
           (2) Use blade torque gauge, part number B-2399, to check torque required to rotate the blade.
               (a) Make sure torque is not more than 100 inch-pounds (11.3 N-m)
           (3) If torque is excessive use the next thinner shim.
           (4) If a thinner shim was used, check both blade shake and rotational force until both are satisfactory.
           CAUTION: When using sealant, RTV 109, all traces must be removed from blade
                    surfaces. Presence of this sealant will prevent adhesion of anti- or de-
                    icing boots, paint or decals to blade surfaces. Remove residual traces
                    from fingers before handling metal parts.
      C.   Allow sealant to cure a minimum to twelve hours at room temperature (approximately 70°F).
      D.   FOR OIL FILL ONLY - After curing, use a small diameter (0.020 to 0.040 inch (0.51 to 1.02 mm))
           wooden toothpick to puncture six to eight equally spaced holes in the sealant only on the outboard
           blade/ferrule joint.
           NOTE:      Quality control procedures must be established to assure perforations are made in sealant
                      to prevent the operation from being overlooked or forgotten.
      E.   Serial Number Stamping of Retention Nuts and Ferrule Flanges
           (1) Propeller serial numbers are no longer required to be stamped on retention nuts and ferrule
                flanges. Some of these components may be stamped with the propeller serial number, these
                parts are still airworthy providing correct inspection and repair procedures are followed.
           NOTE:      Refer to Table 710 to determine if C1 blade may require replacement to prevent butt thread
                      cracking.
                      NOTE:      The manufacturer recommends lapping compound, Clover brand, Grade E, No.
                                 120 grit, coarse. Remove all compound from both parts after lapping. If ferrule is
                                 changed for another during assembly, repeat these checks, and lap if necessary.
           (2)   Select and install ferrule on the blade. Refer to Ferrule Installation (non-oil fill only).
           (3)   For C18, drill the ferrule as described in Drilling Ferrule, (Threaded Constant Speed Propellers)
                 For C1 drill for actuating pin as follows:
                 (a) Drill four holes 0.2190 to 0.2113 inch (5.56 to 5.36 mm) diameter by 0.562 inch (14.30 mm)
                       maximum deep.
                 (b) Drill four holes 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) diameter by 0.031 inch (0.80 mm) deep.
                 (c) Tap four holes 1/4-28 UNF-2B x 0.375 inch (9.53 mm) minimum deep.
                 (d) For the larger locating hole, drill 31/64 by 0.250 inch (12.30 by 6.35 mm) maximum deep,
                       then counterbore 0.500 to 0.501 inch (12.7 to 12.73 mm) diameter by 0.188 inch (4.77 mm)
                       deep.
           (4)   For C18 and C45, install actuating pin as described in Installing Blade Actuating Pin. For C1,
                 insert the short length dowel of blade actuating pin in ferrule, set cap screws with 75 to 60 inch
                 pounds (8.5 to 6.78 N-m) torque and stake each screw in two places. Normality check of pin is
                 not required.
           (5)   Set subassembly upright (blade up) and anchor securely (refer to Blade Assembly Build-up).
                 Protect blade shank with heavy paper tape, or use blade wrap, for at least five inches (127 mm)
                 from top of ferrule.
           (6)   Carefully slide upper and lower races of retention bearing and all parts above it up on blade and
                 temporarily secure. Apply lubricant Aeroshell 5 to the ferrule groove and packing (for C18 and
                 C45) and install in groove without twist. Locate inner race of retention bearing on ferrule (do
                 not damage or dislodge packing), tapping lightly with soft mallet to seat, and apply Aeroshell 5.
                 Locate balls and separators on lower race (lubricant will hold in place), set outer race in place on
                 balls (use straight push without rotation to position upper race over packing) and bring retention
                 nut down over upper race, tapping lightly to seat in counterbore. After seating preload bearing
                 inner race in retention nut, apply lubricant. If balls or split retainer have been replaced, press
                 balls in retainer halves, then place on race with larger diameter side of holes toward the race.
                 Position preload bearing upper race for C18 and C45. C1 does not use an upper race for preload
                 bearing.
           (7)   For C18 and C45, carefully open a new gasket, slip over blade shank then bring it down on
                 top of the preload bearing outer race. Install packing in groove of preload nut and oil lightly.
                 Carefully remove all traces of oil and grease from threads of ferrule and preload nut. Use clear,
                 dry-cleaning solvent and exercise care not to dilute grease already applied to bearings. Apply
                 compound to the threads of both ferrule and preload nut. Attach preload nut to ferrule using
                 spanner wrench, part number B-1665, tighten by hand to remove all blade shake, then, holding
                 tension on wrench, tap with hand a few times so that one of the 11 half-circle locking grooves
                 in ferrule outer diameter is aligned with one of the 12 tapped holes in the nut. Stop at first
                 locking position beyond the minimum torque (additional movement between 1/2 and one inch
                 (12.7 and 25.4 mm) is normal). Remove excess compound forced out of threads. Check that
                 torque required to cause rotation between blade and retention nut does not exceed 100 inch-
                 pounds (11.30 N-m). If torque is excessive, loosen preload nut, retighten as before and recheck
                 torque.
           (8)   Locate nut lock with lip as close as possible to ferrule, set screw tightly and attach lock wire
                 between lip and screw. Remove any grease from retention bearing which extends beyond
                 retention nut thread outer diameter. Remove tape from blades and clean.
           (9)   Complete blade assembly as described in Blade Shake.
                 NOTE:      When C1 propellers are converted to C18, refer to Table 711 for the proper blade
                            assemblies to use. The manufacturer recommends that all C1 propellers be
                            converted to C18-F or -AF; also, that C18-[X] and -A be converted to C18-F or -AF.
                            Both conversions will result in propellers with non-preloaded blade assemblies.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Completely overhaul the blade assembly after a lightning strike is confirmed.
     CAUTION: Do a check of the blade components for signs of extreme overheating during
              the lightning strike overhaul.
     A.   To find if a lightning strike has occurred, do the steps that follow:
          (1) Examine the blade assembly for burns and indications of arcing.
          (2) Use a magnetism detector and examine all exposed steel areas of the blade assembly for
                magnetism.
          (3) Look for signs of any melting or metal flow.
                (a) Make sure to carefully examine the blades.
     B.   If a lightning strike is confirmed, do the steps that follow:
          (1) Carefully examine the blade assembly components for signs of melting, flowing metal or
                 discoloration.
          (2) Examine the blades for signs of lightning entrance or exit.
                NOTE:      A small, dark, discolored area, possibly with some erosion is an indication of a
                           lightning entrance or exit.
          (3)   Do the dye penetrant inspection to identify all damage. (Refer to the Standard Practices Manual,
                Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures.)
          (4)   As necessary, remove the blade lightning strike damage. (Refer to Lightning Strike Repair.)
                (a) After you repair the blade lightning strike damage, do the dye penetrant inspection
                     procedure again to make sure you removed all damage.
                NOTE:      A small, dark, discolored area, possibly with some erosion is an indication of a
                           lightning entrance or exit.
          (4)  Use a file, sandpaper, or crocus cloth to remove all the indications of a burn from the blade.
          (5)  Use a 10x magnifying glass to make sure that all the damage is removed.
          (6)  Remove an additional 0.020 inch (0.5 mm) of material from any area that was damaged after
               the burn indication is removed.
          (7) After repair on any area that was damaged, do the dye penetrant inspection. (Refer to the
               Standard Practices Manual, Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures.)
          (8) As necessary, remove any additional material to repair any crack that was found with the dye
               penetrant inspection.
          (9) Use the correct blade repair criteria and examine the blade and make sure that it is in the
               dimensional limits. (Refer to the applicable Blade Repair Criteria section in this manual.)
          (10) Return the blade to service if the measurements are in the dimensional limits.

     Propeller, Bird Strike, or Sudden Engine Stoppage
     A.   For "Threadless" Propeller Blades (Propeller blades used on C200 thru C1100 model series
          propellers).
          (1) Refer to MPC26, Owner/Operator Information Manual for inspection and repair limits for propeller
               blades that have been involved in an object strike or sudden engine stoppage.
     B.   For "Threaded" Propeller Blades (Propeller blades used on C1 thru C98 model propeller assemblies).
          (1) Refer to McCauley Service Bulletin SB176E, Necessary Actions Following Object Strike
                of Stationary Propeller, Blade Strike of Rotating Propeller, Bird Strike, or Sudden Engine
                Stoppage.
4.   Shot Peen Blade Airfoil Repair (114HCA, L114HCA and 96LRB Blades Only)
     A.   Repair and rework in the shot peened area on the airfoil of the blades are different from the non-
          shot peened blades. Different procedures and limitations are necessary for these areas. If these
          specifications are obeyed, it will make sure to keep the desirable compressive surface stress caused
          by the shot peening.
          (1) Blade Straightening
               (a) If the bends in the shot peened area are repairable, it is necessary to reshot peen the area
                      after the straightening.
               (b) When a bend outboard of the shot peened area is repaired, it can be necessary to
                      tightly hold the blade in position in the shot peened area during the blade re-twisting
                      or straightening procedures. If the blade is held tightly in the shot peened area, it
                      is necessary to do the shot peening procedure after the re-twisting or straightening
                      procedures are complete.
     B.   Blade Grinding and Polishing
          (1) Unless necessary, do not grind or polish the shot peened area of the blade. If the shot peened
               area A is ground or polished during the overhaul procedure, the blades must be reshot peened.
               (Refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2.) Do not use grinding tools to remove paint in the shot peened
               areas. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Cleaning Procedures, for the paint stripping
               procedures.
                NOTE:      The information that follows is not the only criteria used for the parts inspection.
                           Other data, such as the dimensional limits, minimum blade width and thickness
                           specifications are also necessary.
                NOTE:      The depth of the damage refers to the measurement results after the rework (filing
                           or polishing) of the affected area. All the damage must be reworked and completely
                           removed before the shot peening.
          (2)   If a scratch, nick, or any mark exposing metal is found on the blade, repair the damage. (Refer
                to Repair and Replacement, Local Repair.)
                (a) Use the correct blade repair criteria and measure the blade and make sure that it is in the
                       dimensional limits. (Refer to the applicable Blade Repair Criteria section in this manual.)
                (b) If the blade is not in the dimensional limits, it is scrap. Replace the blade.
          (3)   If a blade is repaired, make sure that it is still in the dimensional limits. (Refer to the applicable
                tables (Table 1 and Table 2), and Figure 1 or Figure 2.) It is not necessary to reshot peen any
                repairs completed in Area C or Area B shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2.
          (4)   Reshot peening -
                (a) Remove all the anodize or alodine from the blade before the start of the reshot peening
                       procedure.
                (b) By specification MIC-306, the reshot peening procedure can only be done by the
                       Metal Improvement Company. To find the nearest Metal Improvement branch in your
                       area, contact the company: Metal Improvement Company, 11131 Luschek Drive,

5.     Scheduled Thickness Reductions of 114HCA, L114HCA, 114GCA, and L114GCA Blade Models:
       A.   Find the Scheduled Thickness Reductions
            (1) Measure the width and thickness at the 49.8 inch (1264.9 mm) station to find if the removal of
                 material inboard of the 40.8 inch (1036.3 mm) station is necessary.
            (2) Subtract the measured width from 5.850 inch (148.6 mm) to determine the width loss.
            (3) Subtract the measured thickness from 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) to determine the thickness loss.
            (4) Refer to Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6 for the thickness reduction in region 1 (22.8 inch
                 (579.12 mm) station) and region 2 (34.8 inch (883.92 mm) station).
            (5) Refer to the example that follows for further explanation of this procedure. Table 3, Table 4,
                 Table 5, and Table 6 give the regions and locations of the check stations:
                 (a) The 49.8 station measures 5.587 inch (141.91 mm) wide and 0.360 inch (9.14 mm)
                       thick. Subtract the thickness, 0.360 inch (9.14 mm), from 0.375 inch (9.52 mm) (nominal
                       thickness at 49.8 station) for a difference of 0.015 inch (0.381 mm). Refer to Thickness
                       Loss as shown in Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6 for the applicable table.
                 (b) Subtract the width, 5.587 inch (141.91 mm), from 5.850 inch (148.59 mm) (nominal width
                       at 49.8 station) for a difference of 0.263 inch (6.68 mm). Follow Table 3, Table 4, Table 5,
                       and Table 6 for the correct thickness removal for region 1 and region 2.
            (6) Blend any necessary metal removal during a thickness reduction across the entire blade from
                 the leading edge to the trailing edge as shown in Repair and Replacement, Figure 607.
            (7) Blend the region 1 thickness reduction metal removal to zero at the 16.8 station.
                                                                                           61-10-22       Page 3

6.   Interchangeability of Blades
     A.   Most propeller blades in the McCauley controllable pitch propellers cannot be converted from one
          model to another. However there are two exceptions:
          (1) 82NB and 82NC
          (2) 82NEA and 82NFA
               NOTE:       These blades are identical and can be interchanged. However, the propeller
                           blade assembly must also be changed. If the blades are interchanged, the model
                           designation stamped on the blade butt must be changed to agree with the propeller
                           blade assembly part number.
               NOTE:       All new 78CCA-X and 90DHB-X blades have these blind holes. The older, non-drilled
                           version is no longer available from the factory.
NOTE: The only change in every serial number is that the letter L should be M.
               (b)   Use the appropriate size steel stamp to correct the serial number.
               (c)   Make the applicable logbook entry at the next major disassembly or overhaul.
                                                                                          61-10-22        Page 7

                NOTE:      Table 10 records only the serial numbers as they were assembled when new. Later
                           blade replacements could have occurred during subsequent repair or overhaul.
                           Propeller repair stations must examine their records to find if the included blades
                           have been used in propellers not recorded in the table. If so, the propeller repair
                           stations must contact the owner so that the blade can be examined.

                 NOTE:      This through hole supplies a passage for the dyed-oil to drain if there is a blade shank
                            crack. This is a warning for the pilot.
NOTE: If the hole is drilled in any location other than that shown, the blade is scrap.
                 (b)   Put the blade in position in a drill press or bridgeport with the blade end perpendicular to
                       work surface.
                 (c)   Use a Number 1 (0.228 inch (5.79 mm) diameter) centering drill bit to drill an initial blind
                       hole at the applicable location.
                       NOTE:      This will supply a starter hole for the final drill bit. It will help to prevent slippage
                                  of the final drill bit.
                 (d)   Use a standard Number 44 (0.086 inch (2.18 mm) diameter) drill bit and thru-drill the hole
                       to the blade center bore.
                       1     Use a relatively light pressure to prevent the bit from breaking in the hole.
                 (e)   Use a standard Number 40 (0.098 inch (2.49 mm) diameter) reamer and ream-thru the
                       hole to the blade centerbore.
                 (f)   After the hole is drilled, deburr the hole inside bore and the outside shank.
                 (g)   Apply alodine to the hole after the rework is complete. (Refer to Standard Practices Manual,
                       Protective Treatments.)
                 (h)   After anodize or alodine, paint the inside of the blade shank ID with 1 coat of Sherwin
                       Williams Zinc Chromate Primer (P/N B50Y1 or equivalent), or Sherwin Williams A99AB503
                       Polane T Polyurethane Enamel Gray. Do not allow paint build up around the breather hole
                       inside of the blade shank. If paint does build up covering the hole, insert the wooden end
                       of a long Q-tip through the hole and clear the excess paint from the hole.
                                                                                               61-10-22         Page 15

14.   Modification to 90DHA Blade When Used in a C213 Propeller, and all 90DA and 90DCA blades with
      drilled holes
      NOTE:      This modification must be done when a blade with a drilled thru-hole, is installed in a C213
                 propeller. New blades, blades previously installed in a C205 propeller, and all 90DA blades
                 must be modified.
      A.   Modification.
           (1) Fill the blade thru-hole from the outside with RTV #109 until the RTV can be seen extruding from
                the hole inside the blade bore.
NOTE: It is not necessary to fill the threaded blind hole in the blade butt.
           (2)   Remove all excess sealant and allow at least partial curing before propeller assembly.
           (3)   Allow the RTV to cure at least 12 hours before flight operations.
      B.   If a 90DHA blade removed from a C213 propeller is to be installed in a oil filled C205 propeller, the
           blade must have all traces of RTV removed from the thru-hole.
15.   Serial Number Stamping of Retention Nuts and Ferrule Flanges (Threaded Only)
      A.   It is no longer necessary to stamp the propeller serial numbers on the retention nuts and the ferrule
           flanges. However, some of these components can be stamped with the propeller serial number. If the
           correct inspection and repair procedures are followed, these parts are still airworthy.

18.    Mis-Drilled Deice Bracket or Balance Weight Holes For L104DSZ-0 and L106FA-0 Propeller Blades
       A.    Blade Condition and Affected Serial Numbers.
             (1) McCauley has manufactured some L104DSZ-0 and L106FA-0 propeller blades that have an
                  extra deice bracket or balance weight attaching holes drilled 180° from their correct location on
                  the propeller blade shank. The extra holes may not be used for balance weights. The extra
                  holes have no effect on the operation, reliability, life span or safety of these propeller blades.
                  (Refer to Figure 9.)
             (2) The 5JFR36C1003 model propeller uses L104DSZ-0 propeller blades. The 4HFR34C653 model
                  propeller uses L106FA-0 propeller blades.
             (3) The serial numbers of affected propeller blades are listed in Table 14.
                                                                                           61-10-22        Page 22

                                       BLADE OVERHAUL MANUAL
     CAUTION: Always refer to the Special Instructions section of this manual before you do
              any repair.
     CAUTION: Do not try any repair, refinish or replacement procedure in the field which is
              not specifically authorized by McCauley Propeller Systems.
     CAUTION: Reshot peening of the blade retention areas is not permitted.
     CAUTION: Do not try to repair a part by: preheating, annealing and reheat treating,
              brazing, soldering, welding, or peening raised edges around a damaged
              area.
     CAUTION: Do not apply any kind of compound to fill and cover a damaged area of the
              surface.
     NOTE:      (Threaded Blades Only) All repairs to the blade must be made before reassembly with the ferrule.
                If the work adapter is not available, temporarily install a scrap ferrule. (The ferrule must be
                modified with all threads topped and first three removed.) Clamp against the ferrule flange to
                hold the blade while you make the repairs.
     CAUTION: Keep the threads of the blade and the ferrule clean. This will help to prevent
              damage to the components.
     A.   Do only the repairs which obviously will not have an effect on the operation or serviceability of the part.
          (1) Use a firm, light application of aluminum wool to remove stains and small isolated areas of
               corrosion (except in shot peened areas).
          (2) Use only the approved chemical conversion coating or anodize and plated finish procedures.
               (Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Protective Treatments.)
          (3) Use fine emery (240 grit) and crocus cloth to polish shallow nicks or scratches which are not
               more than the maximum depth permitted in the designated critical areas of blade. (Refer to
               Inspection Procedures, Figure 501, Figure 502, Figure 503, Figure 504, or Figure 612 in this
               section.)
                CAUTION: Do not remove metal in areas where the repair is not authorized.
          (4)   Remove all burrs.
          (5)   Remove sufficient metal to make a shallow, well-rounded, large-radius depression to repair cuts,
                dents, eroded areas, gouges, nicks, scratches or scores.
          (1)   Install the blade in the work adapter. Put the blade in position to make sure that the reference
                station is at the correct angle.
                NOTE:      If the blade bend had an effect on the reference station, set up the blade at any
                           inboard station where the blade bend did not have an effect. (Refer to the applicable
                           blade repair table in the applicable Blade Repair Criteria section.)
                NOTE:      Normally, the flat (face) side of blade will be in the up position when the blade is put
                           in position in the work adapter.
          (2)   Put the top part of work adapter in position on the blade shank and use a clamp to hold it tightly
                in position.
          (3)   Examine the reference station again to make sure the angle is correct.
          (4)   Use a soft red or white, non-graphite pencil to put marks on the shank and butt of the blade at
                the split of the work adapter. Refer to Figure 601.
          CAUTION: Check the blade width and thickness frequently during the repair
                   procedures to make sure that the dimensions are better than the
                   specified minimum values in the applicable blade repair section.
     A.   Straighten the Blade Bend
          NOTE:       Blades with airfoil shot peen areas must be reshot peened after the blade bending
                      procedures. (Refer to Special Instructions, Shot Peen Blade Airfoil Repair.)
          (1)   Use cold bending in the opposite direction to straighten any blade bend for which the angle is
                not more than the allowable limits. (Refer to Inspection Procedures, Figure 507.)
                NOTE:      If the blade is bent, but repairable, it can be necessary to pre-straighten the blade
                           to a satisfactory, correct appearance. Refer to Step 2.A.(3) for the blade bending
                           procedures.
                      CAUTION: Always complete several trials, not just one, during the blade
                               bend straightening procedure.
                      CAUTION: Examine the face alignment and blade angle frequently during
                               the procedure.
                      CAUTION: Protect the blade with a set of pads during the kink bar bending
                               procedures.
                (b)   Put the padded kink bar slot in position at the blade station to be bent.
                (c)   To remove the bend, pull the tool handle along the tip-to-butt axis in the opposite direction
                      of the bend.
                      NOTE:      To make sure that the bend is straightened correctly it is necessary to complete
                                 several trials.

                               bending operations.
                (b)  Support the blade tip and butt in position on the bed of the hydraulic press. (Refer to Figure
                     603.)
                (c) Use the press ram to make the initial bend corrections.
                     1     Use pads to protect the blades.
                (d) Use the kink bar for the final corrections.
          (4)   Blade Angle Correction Procedure. (Refer to Figure 604.)
                (a) Examine the face alignment and blade angle frequently during the blade angle correction
                     procedure.
                      NOTE:      If the blade angle correction procedure is extensive, the blade can slip in the
                                 work adapter in spite of all precautions.
                      CAUTION: (Threadless Only) Make sure that the pencil marks on the blade
                               butt are aligned with the flats on the work adapter as the twisting
                               operations get near the correct blade angle. If the pencil marks
                               on the blade butt are not aligned with the flats of the split line
                               on the work adapter, loosen the work adapter, align the marks
                               again, and clamp the blade in the adapter. Refer to Figure 601,
                               Marking Blade for Work Adapter Installation.
                (b)   Correct the blade angles with the up-angle or down-angle bar or equivalent tool.
                      NOTE:      Use pads, or equivalent, between the blade surfaces and the up-angle (or down-
                                 angle) bar.
                (c)   Use a padded blade shank holder and jack to keep the blade assembly from the rotating
                      during twisting operations. (Refer to Figure 604.)
                      1    Put the blade shank holder in position between the 15-inch (381 mm) and 18-inch
                           (457.2 mm) station.
                           NOTE:      When the shank holder pads are in the correct position, they have a snug
                                      fit with both surfaces of the blade.
                (d)   Put a jack below the elongated side of the shank holder to make sure the blade does not
                      turn in the rigid work adapter. (Refer to Figure 604.)
                (e)   Put the padded up-angle (or down-angle) bar in position at the blade station to be twisted.
                (f)   Pull the tool handle toward the screw jack to twist the blade to the correct angle.
                (g)   As necessary, pull the tool handle toward the screw jack again to twist the blade to the
                      correct angle.
NOTE: It is necessary to complete several trials to make sure that the angle is correct.

                     CAUTION: Do not apply too much pressure during the grinding operation.
                              Use only the weight of the grinder or less. Do not concentrate
                              the grinding procedure on any one local damaged area.
               (b)   McCauley recommends that you grind the blade from the shank to the tip.
               (c)   During the grinding procedure, periodically measure the blade width and thickness to make
                     sure that the blade is in the dimensional limits.
               (d)   Make sure the blade keeps it airfoil properties.
                     CAUTION: Do not apply too much pressure during the polishing operation.
                              Use only the weight of the grinder or less.
               (e)   Use a polishing grit wheel and polish all of the blade, the camber and face side.
                     NOTE:      McCauley recommends you begin the polishing procedure with 80 grit and finish
                                with a 120 grit or a medium ScotchBrite wheel.
                     NOTE:      McCauley recommends the Edmund 6X Junior Comparator and Reticle Stock

4.   Local Repair
     A.   Do the Local Repair.
          (1) Repair the cuts, nicks, dents, erosion, and other damage on the lead and trail edge, face and
               camber as follows:
               (a) If the damaged areas (cuts, nicks, dents) are 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) or closer to each other,
                    they must be removed with one large blending radius. (Refer to Figure 605.)
               (b) If the damaged areas (cuts, nicks, dents) are more than 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) apart, they
                    must be repaired separately with large blending radius. (Refer to Figure 605.)
               (c) If the damage is caused by erosion, remove it as follows:
1 Use a small, half-round mill file to file the lead edge until all the erosion is gone.
                          NOTE:      The length of the blended area must be equal to ten times the depth of the
                                     damaged area. (Refer to Figure 606.)
                     2   Use sanding procedures to clean the lead edge with emery cloth, crocus cloth or
                         sandpaper.
                     3   Make sure you keep the lead edge radius. (Refer to Figure 607.)
                     4   Make sure to remove all of the file marks.
                     5   Make sure the blade keeps it airfoil properties.
               (d)   Repair surface damage (face and camber) as follows:
                     1   Use a small, hand-held rotary grinder, with a sanding bob, to grind the surface.
                          NOTE:      The diameter of the repaired area must be equal to twenty (20) times the
                                     depth of the damaged area. (Refer to Figure 606.)
a Use a light pressure in a circular motion until all the damage is fully removed.

      GENERAL RULES:
      DO NOT REDUCE THE MAXIMUM THICKNESS OF SECTION.
      KEEP THE ORIGINAL LEAD EDGE RADIUS.
      BLEND TO THE PROFILE OF THE AIRFOIL SECTION.
                (e)   Chemically recoat the surface.      (Refer to Standard Practices Manual, Protective
                      Treatments.)
                (f)   Do the dye penetrant inspection to make sure that the correct repair has been completed.
                      (Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures.)
     B.   Blade Dimensions Check
          (1) After the grinding and polishing procedures are complete, measure the blade dimensions.
               (a) Use the correct blade repair criteria and examine the blade and make sure that it is in the
                     dimensional limits. (Refer to the applicable Blade Repair Criteria section in this manual.)
          (2) If the blade dimensions are less than the minimum specifications, retire the blade.
          CAUTION: Do not decrease the diameter to less than the minimum certificated
                   diameter for the propeller for the aircraft type certificate.
          CAUTION: Do not decrease the blade width or thickness to less than the specified
                   limits.
          (1)   Scrap the blade if the correct repair will decrease the blade width or thickness to less than the
                specified limits. (Refer to the applicable Blade Repair Criteria section in this manual.)
          (2)   The recommended guidelines for rounding off the square blade tip planforms during field repair
                are as follows:
                (a) For propellers that have four or more blades, it is prohibited to change the tip planform of
                     any blade.
                      NOTE:       Any approved cut-down in the diameter must keep the original planform
                                  designed specially for that particular blade.
                (b)   For propellers that have 3 blades or less, rounding off the tip planform of a square tip blade
                      is permitted if the minimum diameter and repair chord of the blade is not exceeded.
                      1     When you do the procedure to complete the repaired planform, do not remove any
                            more material than is necessary to make the repair.
                CAUTION: The shape of blade tip must be the same on every blade of the
                         propeller assembly. Refer to the SPM100, Standard Practices
                         Manual, Paint Instructions section for the original blade tip
                         planforms.
          (3)   If the blade tip damage is so extensive that it cannot be corrected by local repair, if approved by
                the aircraft type certificate, remove the metal to shorten the blade across its full width.
                (a) Shorten each blade to the same tip dimension and shape.
                (b) Make sure to keep the original tip design.
                      NOTE:       For instructions on scarfing certain blades, refer to Special Instructions, Blade
                                  Diameter Reduction for 90DF[X] and 90DC[X] Blades.
          (4)   Necessary inspection of the blade tips after the diameter reduction:
                (a) During a legal diameter reduction on blades, it is sometimes necessary to change certain
                    blade stations to keep the original planform.
                (b) When the diameter of a blade is reduced, the blade inspection table for the reduced
                    diameter must be used, not the table for the original diameter.
          (1)   Periodically, while reworking and redressing blades, do a check of the blade balance with respect
                to each other.
          (2)   From the results of the balance check, make sure that the final propeller assembly can be
                statically balanced.
          (3)   If the blades are not sufficiently balanced with respect to each other, the correct propeller balance
                can be difficult if not impossible. Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Blade Track and Blade
                to Blade Balance for the final individual blade balance.
                NOTE:      For the threadless blades the maximum permitted depth is 0.030 inch (0.762 mm).
                           For the threaded blades the maximum permitted depth is 0.005 inch (0.127 mm). The
                           total area of rework must not be more than 10 percent of the blade bore area.
          (2)   If there is still corrosion in the blade bore area after it was repaired to the maximum specified
                dimension (threadless blades the maximum permitted depth is 0.030 inch (0.762 mm), for
                threaded blades the maximum permitted depth is 0.005 inch (0.127 mm)) , use the criteria that
                follows to find if the blade must be rejected: (Refer to Figure 608.)
                (a) Use a plastic media blast, or similar treatment, to thoroughly clean the pitted areas. (Refer
                      to the Standard Practices Manual, Cleaning Procedures.)
                (b) Any pitting that holds dye penetrant is not permitted.
                NOTE:      The blade counterweight groove can be machined on the outboard side (O) only to
                           remove corrosion or other surface damage. It is necessary to increase the size of the
                           counterweight groove to complete the repair.

9.   Retaining Ring Groove Repair (Threadless Only)
          CAUTION: No repair is permitted in the retaining ring groove area on propellers that
                   have been oil filled and that have a hole drilled in the blade just outboard
                   of the retaining ring groove.
     A.   Repair the Retaining Ring Groove (Threadless Only). (Refer to Figure 610.)
          NOTE:       The blade retaining ring groove can be machined to remove corrosion or other surface
                      damage. It is necessary to increase the size of the retaining ring groove to complete this
                      repair.
                NOTE:       It is permitted to coat the blade retaining ring area with a relatively thin, constant coat
                            of Zinc Chromate Primer TT-P-1757 for additional protection.
                (a) Do not use a coating on the outside of the blade shank diameter.
          (5)   Use a round bottom metal impression stamp (1/8-inch character) and add the prefix letter R to
                the blade model designation.
                CAUTION: Propeller shops must examine the blades for indications of changes
                         that were done before. Make sure that quality control procedures
                         are used so the correct size wire ring (A-4427 or A-4427-1) and
                         correct shim (B-4407-X) are used during assembly.
          (6)   During the assembly, a new slightly larger diameter wire ring, part number A-4427-1, (0.086-inch
                diameter) is necessary to replace the wire ring, part number A-4427 (0.067-inch diameter).
                NOTE:       Sometimes the ends of the A-4427-1 oversize wire ring can touch. The ends must
                            be trimmed to make sure they do not touch.

                 CAUTION: Propeller shops must examine the blades for indications of changes
                          that were done before.
           (7)   If the blade has been changed in the retaining ring groove area before, retire the blade.
                 NOTE:      Blades that have been changed in the retaining ring groove area before cannot be
                            changed again.
                 NOTE:      Heli-Coil brand threaded inserts are manufactured by Emhart Fastening Teknologies,
                            Industrial Division, 50 Shelton Technology Center, Shelton, CT 06484 USA.
           (2)   McCauley recommends you use a Bridgeport or drill press when the blades are machined.
           (3)   Before the installation of the inserts, chemically recoat the blade. Refer to Standard Practices
                 Manual, Protective Treatments for the applicable treatments and procedures.
           CAUTION: Any blade that shows an indication of an anodize burn must be retired.
      B.   Painting or Polishing Procedures.
           (1) Refer to the Standard Practices Manual, Paint Instructions.
      NOTE:      No more than four holes are permitted in a ferrule. If a fifth hole is necessary for the actuating
                 pin installation, the ferrule cannot be used and must be retired.
      A.   Ferrules with sharp edges on the first 2 to 3 threads can be repaired as follows: (Refer to Figure 613.)
                 CAUTION: Use only an abrasive rubber wheel. A stone or other hard abrasive
                          wheel can make burrs or an unsatisfactory rough finish.
           (1)   Install a 1.5-inch diameter abrasive rubber wheel in a hand-held grinder (5000 RPM maximum)
                 or an electric drill.
           (2)   Put the ferrule on a work bench and slowly turn it by hand while you hold the air grinder (or drill)
                 at approximately a 20 degree angle.
                 (a) Apply even pressure on the edge of the loaded side of the thread to round off the sharp
                       edge condition.
                 (b) Rework the threads to 0.010 to 0.030-inch (0.25 to 0.76 mm) radius. (Refer to Figure 613.)
           (3)   To get an optimum holding fixture, you can put the ferrule in a lathe and turn it by hand while you
                 rework the threads.
           (4)   Clean and replate the ferrule. Refer to Standard Practices Manual, Cleaning Procedures and
                 Protective Treatments for the applicable treatments and procedures.

                   tapped through, if otherwise satisfactory, can be reworked to shorten the threaded end. Refer
                   to Table 602 or Table 603 for the applicable propeller model.
       A.   To decrease the length on the threaded end, do the steps that follow:
            (1) Use a lathe to cut off the threaded end.
                 (a) To prevent pin damage, hold the actuating pin in a collet.
            (2) Refer to Figure 614 or Figure 615 and Table 602 or Table 603 for the new necessary dimension
                 (A dimension) from the hexagon shoulder to the end of the thread.
NOTE: It is not necessary to replate the actuating pin after the changes.

15. Retention Nut Rework and Repair (Constant Speed Propellers Only)
       NOTE:     No rework is necessary for propellers that are the oil-filled configuration or do not need to be
                 oil-filled.
       A.   To change the non-oil filled propellers to the oil filled type, the following rework is necessary:
            (1) Some propellers can have the older-style retention nuts with the narrow O-ring grooves. Do not
                 use these nuts as they are. Two options are as follows:
                 (a) Replace these nuts with the newer style (Table 604 or Table 605).
                 (b) Before the oil-filling, rework the nuts as follows:
            (2) O-ring Groove Width Modification.
                 (a) Do an inspection of the retention nut O-ring groove width to find if changes are necessary
                      to use the larger cross-section oil-filled O-ring. Refer to Figure 616 or Figure 617.
                 (b) If rework is necessary, put the retention nut in the lathe.
                      1    Use the four jaw chuck with pads to prevent abrasion on the retention nut.
                 (c) Put the chuck in the A diameter and stay aft of the radius tangent.
                      1    To center the nut, use a dial indicator on the B diameter.
                             NOTE:       Some retention nuts can have slight wear points on the B diameter. These
                                         points are not used for the setup.
                        2     Hold the squareness within 0.004 inch T.I.R. with respect to F surface.
                 (d)    Cut the material from the O-ring as follows:
                        1     For three-bladed propellers, cut the material from the outboard side of the O-ring
                              groove.
                        2     For two-bladed propellers, cut the material from the inboard side of the O-ring groove.
                        3     Make sure to keep the diameter of the groove unchanged.
                 (e)    If there are any burrs or sharp edges in the bottom of the groove, use an emery cloth to
                        remove them.
                 (f)    Chemically recoat the reworked area. Refer to Standard Practices Manual, Protective
                        Treatments for the applicable procedures for corrosion protection after the rework is
                        completed.

16. Retention Nut Rework and Repair (Full Feathering Propellers Only)
       NOTE:      No rework is necessary for propellers that are the oil filled configuration.
       A.   To change the non-oil filled propellers to the oil filled type, the following rework is necessary:
            (1) Some propellers can have the older-style retention nuts with the narrow O-ring grooves. Do not
                 use these nuts as they are. Two options are as follows:
                 (a) Replace these nuts with the newer style (Table 606 or Table 607).
                 (b) Before the oil-filling, rework the nuts as follows:
            (2) O-Ring Groove Width Modification
                 (a) Do an inspection of the retention nut O-ring groove width to find if changes are necessary
                      to use the larger cross-section oil-filled O-ring. Refer to Figure 618.

18.   Repair of Preload Bearing Races (C1, C18, and C45 propellers only)
      A.   When the impressions are not too deep, repair the brinelled preload bearing races by the grinding
           procedures that follow:
           (1) Do a magnetic particle inspection to make sure that there are no cracks. Refer to the Standard
                Practices Manual, Non-Destructive Inspection Procedures.
           (2) Remove the metal on the brinelled side to the minimum permitted thickness as follows:
                (a) Inner preload race - 0.168 inch.
                (b) Outer preload race - 0.110 inch.
           (3) You must completely remove the impressions in the inner race.
           (4) If the race is inverted at assembly, the impressions in the outer race can only have the raised
                edges removed.
           NOTE:      The balance data stamped on a blade butt must be in the specified tolerances. This is
                      to prevent the exceedance of the maximum permitted number of blade weights on the
                      completed propeller assembly.
           NOTE:      Think about the age and time in the field when you supply the balance data for the
                      replacement blade(s).
      B.   Refer to General Information, Explanation of Balance Weight and Blade Stamp Data to order a
           complete blade assembly that matches the other blade assemblies in a set.
           (1) When you order a replacement blade assembly, you must include all of the balance data for
                each blade that is not replaced in the set.

1.     General
       A.      The tables in this section supply the face angles, face alignment, and minimum width and thickness
               at different stations for the basic design of the blade. If any width and thickness dimensions are less
               than the minimum, the blade is un-airworthy.
       B.      Also supplied are the dimensions for different stations when the length of the blade is decreased.
               (1) If the length of the blade is between the dimensions recorded in the table, interpolate the values
                    for that station. If one of the corresponding values is not available in the table, a measurement
                    at that station is not required.

       A.      The tables in this section supply the face angles, face alignment, and minimum width and thickness
               at different stations for the basic design of the blade. If any width and thickness dimensions are less
               than the minimum, the blade is un-airworthy.
       B.      Also supplied are the dimensions for different stations when the length of the blade is decreased.
               (1) If the length of the blade is between the dimensions recorded in the table, interpolate the values
                    for that station. If one of the corresponding values is not available in the table, a measurement
                    at that station is not required.
