What was found

DURING LSY CHECK AT INDY, THE LH MLG DOOR STOP SHIMS (FORWARD STOP) WERE IDENTIFIED AS LOOSE AND THE STOP PAD ON THE MLG DOOR HAS GOUGING ABOUT 0.020 DEEP. THE HELICOIL INSERTS IN THE AIRCRAFT SIDE STOP FITTING ARE LOOSE AND NOT HOLDING RETENTION OF THE SCREWS. THE RH SIDE SCREWS WERE ALSO LOOSE, HOWEVER HAD NOT YET WORN INTO THE MLG DOOR PAD SIGNIFICANTLY. EA H-3212-TO368478P1 CREATED TO REMOVE INSERTS FROM THE FORWARD DOOR STOP FITTINGS ON THE RH AND LH MLG DOORS. ACQUIRE SUITABLE LENGTH SCREWS (BACB30NN3-10) TO INSTALL THROUGH THE SHIMS AND TO GO THROUGH THE FITTING AND PROTRUDE TO ATTACH SELF ALIGNING NUTS 3D0006-3. INSTALL THIS SET UP ON LH AND RH FWD DOOR STOPS. BOTTOM LINE IS INSERTS ARE COMING OUT AND WE NEED TO REPLACE WITH SCREWS AND NUTS.
