A. General
If it is necessary to replace the entire wing structure, you will need special equipment. Allow time for
setting up as follows:
(1) Determine whether wing will be lowered or fuselage raised to remove wing. Equipment will
vary accordingly.
(2) Fabricate the following special equipment prior to starting the procedure (see Figure 4).
(a) Cradle to support fuselage: Create slings from industrial nylon lifting strap, six (6) inches
wide. Lifting capability needed only if raising fuselage away from wing.
(b) Dolly to cradle wing: A single jack may be specially adapted for this procedure in order to
lower wing away from fuselage.
(c) Hoist assembly: To be attached to ceiling, with sufficient weight-bearing capacity. Position
clamps so that straps will cradle fuselage at bulkheads (see Figure 4) for best support.
(d) Lifting pins (left and right) and cable: Suitable to attach to engine mount for additional
steadying.
(e) Tools for removing rivets and cutting sealant: May be standard or fabricated.
