17.5 LCT Removal
Step Procedure
Date & Initials
Tech. QA
17.5.1
Remove all cable ties by either sliding them off the LCT bearings or cutting
them. Take inventory to ensure all were removed. Also inspect the Lightband
near each LCT to ensure no small cable tie pieces broke off.
17.5.2
Optional Step:
If desired, the LCTs may be removed from the Lightband. To do so hold the
LCT with a 1/4 inch wrench and remove the screw with a 3/32 inch hex key.
See Figure 17-2. Take care not to lose the small washer.
Take inventory and ensure all components were removed and accounted for.
In unique circumstances the customer may be unable to Stow the Lightband as intended and therefore need to
reverse section 17.4 to un-Mate and Separate the Lightband. The cable ties must be incrementally extended to
prevent overstressing the Lightband’s thin Lower Ring and Upper Ring flanges. The reversal process is as follows
1. Slide a single cable tie off an LCT pair and measure its effective loop length.
2. Take a new cable tie and create a slightly longer loop such that the Lightband flange distance will
increase ~0.05 inch. Assuming the cable ties are the same length, the exposed length will decrease ~0.1
inch. See Figure 17-4.
3. Slide this new cable tie over the LCT pair.
4. Work all the way around the Lightband, repeating steps 1 through 3 for each LCT pair.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the Separation Springs are fully extended.
