STEP 33:
Place the doors with their outside faces down on a clean flat surface.
Remove the door manifold, 2 each, ½” x ¾” glass clip. Remove 3 each,
10-24 x ¼” Phillips pan head machine screws and 3 each, glass clips.
Reach underneath the door and push the glass and gaskets upward and out
of the frame. Scrape the frame with a putty knife, removing all dry
cement and old gasket material. Inspect and clean the glass. Replace any
broken or cracked glass. Check the condition of the formed gasket which
separates the glass panes. Replace it if it is broken, crushed or badly
deformed. Remove the hinge boss from the door frame, 3 each, ¼-20 x
½” hex head leveler bolts and 3 each, ¼” flat washers. Inspect the hinge
pins. If the pins are broken or severely bent, drive them out of the hinge
boss with a 1/8” punch/drive pin and ball peen hammer. Remove the
gasketing from around the door frame. Clean the gasket channels.
Unscrew the door handle and tab assembly. Inspect the 7/16”-20 x ¾”
socket set screw for looseness in the door and/or damaged threads. If
defective, remove with a 7/32” Allen wrench. After thorough cleaning,
pain the outside surface of the doors and hinge bosses at this time. Use
