Find the Serial Number of the Main Rotor Hub Lead-Lag Bolt (1). Examine the Component Maintenance records for the serial number of each of the four, five, or six lead-lag bolts installed on a helicopter. (2). Examine the serial number on lead-lag bolts in storage. (3). If the Component Maintenance records are incomplete, look at the head of the lead-lag bolt to find the serial number. Make sure to keep each balance weight stackup together and to record the location of each stackup during removal. Incorrect installation can cause an imbalance in the main rotor. (a). If necessary, remove screws (6), washers (7), nuts (9), and washers (10, 11) (ref. Figure 1). (b). Record or make a note of the position each stackup is removed from. (c). After you look for the serial number, install each stackup to the correct location. (4). Do a check of the lead-lag bolt serial numbers with the serial numbers shown in Paragraph 1.B. (a). Tell MDHI if there is a lead-lag bolt or bolts with the Paragraph 1.B. serial numbers installed on a helicopter so MDHI can schedule a time to replace the lead-lag bolts. (5). If the time on the bolt is known, include the hours on the Bulletin Completed Record or in your MyMD.Aero account, or in a new Service Operation Report (SOR). B. Compliance Record (1). Record compliance to this Service Bulletin in the Compliance Record Log (ref. CSP- RLB-L8) of CSP-RLB Rotorcraft Log Book. (2). Show compliance with this Service Bulletin by one of these methods: (a). Complete a Service Operation Report (SOR) at https://www.mymd.aero/dashboard. (b). Put an entry in your https://www.mymd.aero/ account. (c). Mail a copy or e-mail a scanned copy of the Bulletin Completed Record to your MDHI Field Service Representative.
