Yetti Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 When they are cracking and crusty and old. Turn gas selector to off Remove left long panel below pilot seat- May have to undo the left gear door to hang free to get at the inside row of screws Clean panel with goop hand cleaner Cut safety wire Remove bolt There is a fancy washer with a built in o ring that seals the bolt. Call LASAR Clean screen, inspect gasket Replace screen and gasket There is an AD for the bolt torque some are labled with too high a torque Re safety wire Turn gas on check for leaks replace panel Just a PP. had the A&P inspect my work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M016576 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think it's called for at annual, but I'm not positive. Mine has 2 o-rings in it and a screen. All can be purchased new through spruce for under 10 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
