Airborne vacuum pump install instructions

Post by resto108 »

Does anyone out there have a copy of the install instructions for the Airborne vacuum pump?

Thanks!

Received a copy, thanks! Didn't answer my question, though. I had my O300C crank overhauled and now the split pulley is loose. Assuming they "cleaned up" the seal area. I was hoping there was a value for the interference fit in the install instructions, but no. Anyone run into this before?

Can you tell us more about which Airborne pump/installation-basis you are using?

OK..well then, you likely found it here in the Forums at http://www.cessna170.org/forums/viewtop ... =39&t=6800

That pump is no longer supported I'm told.

I am also having a problem with re-installation of the crankshaft pulley. My 337 references "Handbook of Installation Instructions, Procedure Number D7001A1" which may help yet I do not have this document. Has this installation detail been resolved?

The link I provided earlier in this discussion is a link to the STC instructions and has the specific installation instructions for that pulley on page 6. Have you a copy of it?

I'm unable to access the area where the link directs me. Not a member, only visiting with my 172.
