6. Install the heaviest washer (4) nearest to the recessed washer (2).
7. Do not use a single NAS1149F0632P washer next to the 140-007-25-22C4 recessed washer because the
NAS1149F0632P washer may deform causing a reduction in bolt torque.
8. Use the proper bolt length to secure washers. Outboard blade bolt length may vary from NAS6606D30 to
NAS6606D38 and inboard blade bolt length may vary from NAS6606D36 to NAS6606D39.

NOTES
1. Damage reference areas:
A
2 Chafing will occur in areas where the elastomer is missing and will result in clean or fretted
surfaces on two adjacent shims, outer housing, or inner member.
3 No mechanical or corrosion damage permitted in this area.
4 If separation, cracks or tears are found on 360° on the two sides of the elastomer,
5 A void is an area where the elastomer is missing and you can easily insert a 0.015 inch
(0.381 mm) thickness gauge without deflection of the flapping bearing. Replace the flapping
bearing if the void is equal to or more than the conditions that follow:
a. The total depth of the void is more than 0.25 inch

(6.35 mm). The total depth is the sum of the depths of
the void from the two sides at the same location in a
layer.
b. The total length of the void is more than 45°

of the elastomer arc.
6 Elastomer sheeting or extrusion is elastomer that extends after the edge of the shim.
Measure the maximum extension and arc (in degrees) of the damaged area. Compare
the dimension to the elastomer sheeting/extrusion graph.
7 Only when flapping bearing 407-312-100-101 is used in conjunction with clamp ring
427-012-106-101, minimum length can be reduced to 3.650 inches (62.71 mm).
