Summary of the Problem.
a. The Linear Voltage Differential Transducer (LVDT) connectors on the servocylinders have a
minimum torque for disengagement (removal) of 2 in-lb. The removal torque on some connectors is suspect
and has been found to be below the required 2 in-lb. The connectors have been installed on both Back-Up
Control System (BUCS) and non-BUCS servocylinders. The repair procedure will require lockwire to be
applied to the LVDT connectors at the aircraft interface. The lockwire will prevent the LVDT connector from
separating from the airframe connector.
c. The purpose of this TB is for the installation of safety wire to the LVDT connector to ensure the con-
nector cannot unseat.

Inspection Procedures.
a. Inspect all servocylinder LVDT connectors for installed safety wire. If safety wire is installed,
inspection is complete and no further action is required, the red dash //--// may be signed off.
