INTRODUCTION FRONT PULLEY MAINTENANCE AND

This bulletin outlines required maintenance and
updates to the front pulley retention system. It also
outlines optional configurations of crankshaft pulleys
and shafts. The content and organization of this
revision has changed significantly. Read and
understand the bulletin in its entirety.
RETENTION
There are three configurations that may be
encountered. Configuration 1 is to be updated at
overhaul. Configuration 2 should be updated at the
next re-torque. The table within each configuration lists
the components required for updating.
Figure 1 illustrates previous and current endplate
retaining hardware. After Configurations 1 and 2 are
updated, endplate retaining hardware must be
installed as illustrated for Configuration 3.
