Tail Rotor Shaft or Tail Gear Replacement
Loosen the tail rotor shaft collar and remove it from the tail rotor shaft. Unsnap
the tail pitch links from the tail rotor grips. Hold the tail gear and spacer in place
and slowly pull the tail rotor shaft from the helicopter as shown. If necessary
insert the new tail rotor gear and slide the new tail rotor shaft into place. Install
the tail rotor shaft collar ensuring that the screw is aligned with the fl at spot on
the tail rotor shaft. Snap the tail pitch links back onto the tail rotor grips and
transfer the tail rotor blades from the old tail blade grips to the new tail blade
grips. Verify that the tail rotor shaft has no side to side play and that the gear
mesh is set correctly with no binding.
