SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 1197B

inspection is required to verify adequate edge distance for the hole in the shaft. NOTE: Each universal joint must be fastened to the mating shaft with either a taper pin or a bolt. Any other confi guration does not conform to type design. 3. Inspect each universal joint for the presence of a witness hole, as shown in fi gure 2. Most aircraft will have this witness hole feature. However, some early model aircraft may not have a witness hole. If no witness hole exists, proceed to step 5. 4. Insert a 3/64 inch diameter drill rod into each witness hole as far as it will go with hand pressure. Measure the depth of penetration: • If the drill rod penetration depth measures approximately 0.2 inches, this indicates that the drill rod is bottoming out against the near side of the fully inserted shaft. This installation is correct. Proceed to step 8. • If the drill rod penetration depth exceeds 0.2 inches, this indicates that the drill rod is bottoming out against the far side inner wall of the universal joint, and is not making contact with the shaft. Universal joints with this condition may have a shaft with inadequate edge distance, and will require further inspection. Proceed to step 5. 5. If the inspection from step 3 identifi es a universal joint without a witness hole, or if the inspection from step 4 identifi es a shaft with potentially inadequate edge distance, temporarily remove the taper pin (or bolt, as applicable) and disassemble the universal joint from the shaft. NOTE: Taper pins may become diffi cult to remove on older aircraft. If necessary, contact Piper Aircraft at (772) 299-2141 for the location of a Piper authorized facility with experience in this procedure. Piper normal business hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM EST, Monday through Friday. Examine the shaft: • If the distance from the end of the shaft to the centerline of the hole for the taper pin (or bolt) measures 0.19 inches or more, the edge distance is adequate, and existing parts may be reassembled. Proceed to step 7. • If the distance from the end of the shaft to the centerline of the hole for the taper pin (or bolt) measures less than 0.19 inches, the edge distance is inadequate, and replacement of the shaft is required. Proceed to step 6. SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 1197B PAGE 4 of 9 INSTRUCTIONS: (Continued) 6. If the inspection from step 5 identifi es a shaft that must be replaced, identify and order the correct replacement shaft using table 1, 2 or 3 as applicable. In addition, replace any universal joint that exhibits damage, corrosion or excessive wear. Mate the shaft to the universal joint using the following procedure: A. For installations using taper pins: 1) Insert shaft into universal joint, to a depth that achieves a minimum of 0.19 inches from the end of the shaft to the centerline of the hole for the taper pin. Drill hole through mated parts at taper pin location, using a #5 (.2055 inch diameter) drill bit. 2) Ream drilled hole in steps, with a #1 tapered reamer, Piper P/N 906-713. In a properly sized tapered hole, the tapered pin shall install to a depth such that the small end of the tapered shank (where the threads begin) is between 0.030 inches inside and 0.062 inches outside of outer surface. B. For installations using hex head bolts: Insert shaft into universal joint, to a depth that achieves a minimum of 0.19 inches from the end of the shaft to the centerline of the hole for the bolt. Drill hole through mated parts at bolt location, using a #16 (.1770 inch diameter) drill bit. Ream hole to final size of .1870 to .1875 inches in diameter.

Reinstall threaded fastener A. For taper pins: Install tapered pin through mated parts. (See Figure 3). Install the appropriate washer under the nut, using the following criteria: • If pin shoulder (small taper end) does not protrude past outer surface, install an AN960-10 washer (Piper part number 407-564) under nut. • If pin shoulder (small taper end) protrudes past tube surface, install an AN975-3 washer (Piper part number 494-093) under nut. NOTE: Do not reuse the nut that installs the taper pin. Taper pins, washers, sprockets and universal joints may be reused, if they are determined to be in airworthy condition. B. For hex head bolts: Install bolt, washer and nut to match original hardware stack up. NOTE: Do not reuse the nut that installs the bolt. Bolts, washers, sprockets and universal joints may be reused, if they are determined to be in airworthy condition. 8. Make a logbook entry indicating compliance with this Service Bulletin.
