SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 1197D

Each universal joint must be fastened to the mating shaft with either a taper pin or a bolt. Any other configuration does not conform to type design. Inspect each universal joint for the presence of a witness hole, as shown in Figure 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. 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 inspec- tion. Proceed to step 5B. Additional Inspection • . If the inspection from step 3 identifies a universal joint without a witness hole, perform the instructions in either step 5A or step 5B, at the operator's discretion. If the inspection from step 4 identifies a shaft with potentially inadequate edge distance, perform the instructions in step 5B. A. Witness hole drilling procedure 1) Order WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE, Piper part number 766-585. 2) Temporarily remove the taper pin (or bolt, as applicable). See Figures 4 and 5, Views A and B. SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 1197D PAGE 4 of 14 | INSTRUCTIONS: (Continued) 6. 7. 3) Temporarily pin the 766-585 WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE over the universal joint by installing the 400-453 bolt through the hole in the universal joint created by the removal of the taper pin (or bolt, as applicable), from step 5 A 2) directly above. Install 404-534 nut, finger tight. Note: 400-453 bolt and 404-534 nut are components of the 766-585 WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE. See Figure 5, View C. NOTE: The 766-585 WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE should fit over the universal joint with little or no relative movement possible. If necessary, temporarily wrap masking tape around the outside of the universal joint to increase the outside diameter, and enable a snug fit prior to proceeding to step 4) below. WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DRILLING. 4) Using a #40 drill bit (.098 inch diameter) and the 766-585 WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE for alignment, drill a witness hole in the universal joint, to a depth of .185 to 235 inches measured from the outer surface of the Universal Joint. 5) Remove the 766-585 WITNESS HOLE DRILL FIXTURE and Insert a 3/64 inch diameter drill rod into the newly created witness hole as far as it will go with hand pressure. Measure the depth of penetration: If the drill rod penetration depth measures .235 inches or less, 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 .235 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 5B. B. Disassembly Temporarily remove the taper pin (or bolt, as applicable) and disassemble the universal joint from 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. If the inspection from step 5 identifies a shaft that must be replaced, identify and order the correct replacement shaft using Table 1, 2 or 3 as applicable. NOTE: In some cases, the replacement part that is delivered to the customer may have a different part number than the one specified in Tables 1 through 3 of this Service Bulletin. Differences in part numbers may be due to special service requirements, design improvements, or changes in part number naming convention over time. Table 4 provides all part numbers that are acceptable replacements for each part number specified in Tables 1 through 3. 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) Insertshaft 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. SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 1197D PAGE 5 of 14 INSTRUCTIONS: (Continued) 8. 9. 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. B. 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 NAS1149F0363P washer (Piper P/N 690-612) 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. 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. Make a logbook entry indicating compliance with this Service Bulletin. NOTE: Taper pins may become difficult 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.
