REPLACING INDIVIDUAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES

(OTHER THAN THE WINCH CORNER CABLE ASSEMBLY)

The entire cable assembly (other than the winch corner cable assembly) consists of one long cable that

extends from the winch to the corner opposite the personnel door from the winch. Three individual cables

branch from the long cable and extend to each of the three corners (other than the winch corner). The

replacement of any of the four individual cable assemblies is detailed below; replacement of the entire

cable assembly is detailed in the previous section entitled "REPLACING ENTIRE CABLE ASSEMBLY

(OTHER THAN THE WINCH CORNER CABLE ASSEMBLY)".

NOTE

Many of the procedures for replacing an individual cable assembly are

the same as those detailed in the previous section entitled "REPLACING

ENTIRE CABLE ASSEMBLY (OTHER THAN THE WINCH CORNER

CABLE ASSEMBLY)", therefore references will simply be made to the

previous section as appropriate.

The procedure that follows applies only to the replacement of a cable assembly other than that located at

the winch corner. To replace the winch corner cable assembly, refer to the section of this work package

entitled "REPLACING WINCH CORNER CABLE ASSEMBLY".

Each of the four cables making up the cable assembly other than the winch corner cable assembly may

be replaced individually up to all four in quanitity. Replacement of one individual cable assembly of the

four would be handled in the same manner as for all four, specifically the long cable assembly which goes

to each of the three corners other than the winch corner. Replacement of one of the cable assemblies

which goes from the long cable assembly to an individual corner is as follows.

Prepare the CBC for cable replacement as detailed in the previous section entitled "PREPARING THE

CBC FOR CABLE REPLACEMENT".

Remove the cable assemblies from the winch barrel as detailed in the previous section.

Remove the pulley corner bracket top plate, from the corner where the damaged cable assembly is

located. If it is the long cable being replaced, then all pulley corner bracket top plates must be removed.

Proceed with removal of pulley corner top plate as detailed in the previous section.

Remove the turnbuckle locking clips from the cable being replaced and from all three turnbuckles, if long

cable assembly is being replaced as detailed in the previous section.

Remove the turnbuckle body, disconnecting the damaged cable from the long cable. If replacing the long

cable assembly, disconnect all three short cable assemblies that go down each corner (other than the

winch corner) at the point where they connect to the long cable.
