One piece coupling
7.
Torque test the drive hub assembly using the Alternator Drive Hub Torque Tool
(Chapter 3, Special Tools and Supplies) and a currently calibrated torque wrench.
8.
Apply 100 inch pounds of torque to the drive hub with the torque tool. No slippage is
allowed at or below 100 inch pounds of torque.
9.
Install the serviceable or replacement drive coupling on alternator according to
“Alternator Drive Hub Installation” instructions in Section 10-4.1.2.

Install the spark plugs according to instructions in Section 9-4.1.
7-3.18. Ground Strap Continuity Test
Purpose
Two ground leads connect the engine structure to the aircraft ground and each ECUs is
connected to the airframe with two ground wires.
Frequency
During 100-hour or annual inspection
Procedure
1.
Inspect the lead wire for fraying, nicks, cuts, or damage.
NOTE: If the ground strap is dirty or corroded, refer to “Cleaning
a Ground Strap Connection Point” in Chapter 9, Maintenance and
Adjustments.
2.
Disconnect one end of a ground strap from the engine or ECU. Measure the resistance
between the loose end of the ground strap and aircraft ground using a digital volt
ohm-meter (DVM).
RESULT: The resistance must be less than 0.5 ohms. If the inspection reveals poor
continuity or if a strap appears frayed, nicked, cut, or damaged, replace the strap
according to instructions in Chapter 10, Non-Overhaul Repair and Replacement.
3.
Install the serviceable ground strap and torque the fastener according to Appendix B.
Disconnect each remaining ground strap and repeat the previous resistance
measurement until all the ground straps pass the inspection.
