The crack was found in the forward lug of the MLG rib 5 aft bearing attachment. The concerned aircraft had accumulated 24,000 flight cycles (FC) and 27,000 FC at the time of finding, refer to Operator Information Telex (OIT) 999.0115/06. In both cases the cracks extended through the entire thickness of the forward lug. Inspection of the MLG rib 5 forward lug on the opposite wings was performed after removal of the bushes on the concerned aircraft. The inspection revealed medium to heavy corrosion in the forward lug holes. A laboratory examination of the two cracked ribs confirmed that the origin of the cracks was due to pitting corrosion. This Service Bulletin introduces new bushes with an increased interference fit in the aft bearing forward lugs. The aft lug of the aft bearing attachment is not affected as the bush is already installed during production with an increased interference fit. After removal of the old bushes, a dye penetrant flaw detection inspection is carried out on the lug bores and faces before installation of the new bushes to make sure that the lugs are damage free. If oversized interference fit bushes have already been installed in one or more of the forward lug positions of the MLG rib 5 aft bearing as per repair R57249121, the intent of this modification can be considered as embodied in these positions. Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will significantly reduce the likelihood of corrosion and any subsequent cracks in the forward lug of the MLG rib 5 aft bearing attachment. Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will cancel the inspection requirements of Service Bulletins A310-57A2088 and A310-57-2091. The intent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A310 aircraft MSN 0539 by the application of repair R57249121.

TO DO THIS: - PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC; AS NECESSARY ON WIRING AND COMPONENTS. - REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND OTHER CONTAMINATION. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION. IN CASE OF CONTAMINATION REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00, CLEANING. (1) Preparation (a) Config. 01 1 Lift the aircraft on jacks (Refer to AMM 07-11-00, Page block 1). 2 Remove the LH and RH MLG legs (Refer to AMM 32-11-11, Page block 401). 3 Remove the LH and RH MLG secondary doors (Refer to AMM 32-12-13, Page block 401). 4 Put access platforms in position in Zones 730/740. (2) Standard Practices (a) Part marking with indelible ink (Refer to PMS 01-06-12 and Para. 2.D.). (b) Application of protective treatments (Refer to SRM 51-21-10, Page block 1).

1 Use the removal/installation tool from the tool kit 044A411058D to remove these items : 1 Bush A5724244220000 Item (1) Discard 1 Bush A5724244120000 Item (2) Discard (b) Inspection of Lug Faces and Bores Refer to Figure 1, Sheet 1 1 Clean the bores of the lugs with a plastic spatula and Solvent General Purpose (Mat. No. 11-026). 2 Visually inspect the bore and the spotfaces of the lug to make sure there is no corrosion and/or damage. NOTE : If corrosion and/or damage is found visually it is not necessary to do the next workstep (b)3. 3 Do a dye penetrant flaw detection test of the bore and the spotfaces of the lug to make sure there is no corrosion and/or damage (Refer to NTM 51-90-00, Page block 901). 4 Do a check to make sure that the diameter of the bore of the lug (dimension Y) is within the tolerance of 4.7791 to 4.7805 in. (121.389 to 121.425 mm). 5 If no damage and/or corrosion is found and dimension Y is within the tolerance do workstep (1) (c). 6 If there is damage and/or corrosion found, or if dimension Y is more than the given tolerance, report the findings to AIRBUS and wait for advice for repair R57249121 and re-boring tool 044A411058D. (c) Installation of Bushes Refer to Figure 1, Sheet 1 and 3 and Figure 2, Sheet 1 and 2 1 Before installing the bushes check that the dimension Z (Refer to Figure 1, Sheet 1) is likely to be achieved. This can be done by measuring the thickness of the lug and the thickness of the flange on the two bushes and adding them together. Dimension Z should be between 2.785 and 2.797 in (70.74 and 71.04 mm). If the dimension Z is outside the tolerance, contact AIRBUS. 2 Apply Chemical Conversion Coating Yellow Aluminum (Mat. No. 13-002) to the bore and the spotfaces of the lug. 3 Apply Sealant, Anaerobic (Mat. No. 08-003) to the bores of the lug and the mating surface for the seat of the bush flange. WARNING : LIQUID NITROGEN IS DANGEROUS. OBEY THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND WEAR THE CORRECT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN YOU USE LIQUID NITROGEN. CAUTION : DO NOT PUT MORE THAN ONE BUSH AT A TIME INTO THE LIQUID NITROGEN, USE CLEAN TONGS TO REMOVE THE BUSH FROM DATE : May 22/07 SERVICE BULLETIN No. : A310-57-2090

- freeze each bush in sequence in liquid nitrogen for not less than three minutes, - use the installation tool (refer to Figure 1 Sheet 3) to install each bush in sequence in the applicable end of the bore of the forward lug of the aft gear-rib bearing. Make sure that the bushes are fully installed, - allow the bushes to return to ambient temperature. 5 Make sure that the dimension Z is within the tolerance of 2.785 to 2.797 in. (70.74 to 71.04 mm). 6 Make sure that the clearance dimension between the bushes, Item 1 and Item 2 is free of sealant. 7 Assemble the in-line honing tool as shown, refer to Figure 2, Sheet 1. 8 Use the alignment tool (truing sleeve) to set up the in-line honing tool as shown, refer to Figure 2, Sheet 2. CAUTION : USE ONLY "DELAPENA" HONING FLUID (Mat. No. 06-010). 9 Use the in-line honing tool to finish the internal diameter (dimension X) of the bushes, Item 1 and Item 2, within the tolerance of 4.5275 to 4.5289 in. (114.999 to 115.034 mm) and to a surface finish of 32 micro inches (0.81 microns). 1 0 Use Solvent General Purpose (Mat. No. 11-026) and a cloth to clean the area. 1 1 Apply Adhesion Promoter For Polysulfide Sealant (Mat. No. 09-028) around the flanges of the bushes, Items 1 and 2. 1 2 Apply a continuous bead of sealant around the edges of the bushes, Item 1 and Item 2 to form a fillet seal, use Fuel Tank Sealant Polysulfide (Mat. No. 09-002). 1 3 Use Solvent General Purpose (Mat. No. 11-026) and a cloth to remove any unwanted sealant. 1 4 Apply Polyurethane Gloss Finish (Clear Basecoat) (Mat. No. 16-021B) to the fillet seals to protect the sealant from hydraulic fluid. (d) Re-identify the gear ribs 5 by marking this SB No. adjacent to the part number, refer to Para. 2.E. and Para. 3.A.(2)(a). Apply Polyurethane Gloss Finish (Clear Basecoat) (Mat. No. 16-021B) to protect the written SB No. from hydraulic fluid.
