that thrust collar thrust bearing, or thrust bearingsurface of the back plate assembly are worn.If endplay is less than .001”, it indicates a carbon build-up behind the turbine wheel. Unit must be disas-sembled and condition corrected.(2) Check the shaft radial movement (specifiedradial movement is .003” to . 007”). Proceed asfollows:(a) Attach a dial indicator adapter to the oildischarge outlet, or fabricate an adapter by threadingthe end of a rod approximately 8“ long. Secure therod to the turbine housing. Attach the dial indicatorwith appropriate extensions to the adapter.(b) Position the point of the dial indicator,through through oil discharge outlet, on the center of theimpeller shaft.(c) With one hand on the compressor im-peller and-one hand on the turbine wheel, pull theshaft up against the indicator. Record the indicatorreading.(d) With one hand on the impeller and onehand on the turbine wheel, push the shaft down, awayfrom the indicator. Record the indicator reading.(e) The difference between the readings re-corded in steps (c) and (d) will be the total shaft radialmovement.Repeat the procedure several times be-fore accepting a final figure.(f) If the radial shaft movement exceeds,007”, it is an indication of shaft or bearing wear,or that the bearing bore in the center housing is worn.The unit must then be disassembled and reconditioned.h. Use a sliding “T” handle and a 3/8 inch, 12point socket and remove the locknut (8). Hold the“T” handle at the ends to prevent bending of the shaft.i. Twist and pull up to remove the compressorimpeller (9).j. Remove the metallic seal ring from the grooveon the turbine impeller shaft.K. Remove the thrust bearing (17) and thrustcollar (16) as a unit.Separate bearing and collar.1. Remove the metallic sealing ring (20) from thethrust colIar (16)NOTESince the outer bearing retainers andbearings may be removed from either endof the center housing, it is not necessaryto remove inner bearing retainers unlessinspection reveals them to be damaged orunseated. Always replace bearing retainers.m. Remove outer bearing retainers with a sharppointed tool such as an ice pick; use a twisting motion.Use care to avoid scoring bearing or bearing bore.14-53. Turbocharger Cleaning and Inspection.Refer to Operator and Organizational MaintenanceManual.14-54. Turbocharger Repair,a. If the turbocharger is damaged due to lack oflubrication and results in bearing seizure, or if theimpellers are damaged due to foreign objects passingthrough the turbine or compressor, the damage willbe extensive and require replacement of the rotatingparts and possibly the replacement of the centerhousing. This must be determined by inspection.At the time of engine overhaul the turbocharger mustbe disassembled and all parts inspected.b. Burnish or polish out minor surface damageusing silicon carbide abrasive cloth for aluminumparts and crocus cloth for steel parts; clean beforereassembling with cleaning solvent Federal Specifi-cation P-D-680,c. At time of repair or overhaul, replace rubberseal ring, metallic seal rings, bearing retainers, andlock plates.d. Make certain all parts are thoroughly cleanand-work bench area is clean and free of any abrasivematerial before proceeding with inspection of indi-vidual parts.e. Replace bearings if they indicate signs ofscoring, nicks, shellac-like deposits, or otherforeign matter.Use a micrometer and telescopinggauge and measure the diameters. The bore of theimpeller shaft bearings must not exceed 0.4019inch and the outer diameter must not be less than0.6182 inch.Replace bearings at time of overhaul.f. The thrust bearing must not show any signs ofscoring or foreign matter deposit on the groovedside.Measure the thickness at three places alongthe collar bore.The measurement must not be morethan 0.1720 or less than 0.1711 inch. Replace thethrust bearing at time of overhaul.g. The bore for the metallic seal ring must notindicate signs of scoring or roughness.The sealbore must be clean and smooth. The size of the boremust not exceed 0.5015 inch.Replace if this mea-surement is exceeded.h. Make certain that the turbine and compressorhousing are clean and have no internal obstructionsthat could impede the flow of gases. Replacedamaged housing.i. The compressor impeller must not show anysigns of rubbing with either the compressor housingor the backplate.The bore must be smooth. The fitshould be 0.0002 inch to 0.0004 inch. The bladesmust be totally free of dirt or any other foreign sub-stance.The blades must not be bent, cracked, oreroded to a feather edge.Replace compressor im-peller if these requirements are not met.Change 3 14-59
