2. Open the stator's fastening screws (figure 25).

Figure 25. Stator fastening screws

The stator is attached to the frame with 12 screws, all located on the same

ring. The figure only shows the screws located on the port side of the

frame. On the starboard side, the screws are in reverse order.

3. Remove the stator, reversing deflector and steering nozzle as a complete

unit (figure 26).
