SUBJECT: WINGS - Trailing Edge And Trailing Edge Devices - Trailing Edge Flaps - Outboard
Flap, Inboard Track Inspection/Overhaul/Replacement at WBL 254
CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None.
BACKGROUND
This service bulletin gives the instructions to inspect, repair, overhaul, and replace the flap track at Wing Buttock
Line (WBL) 254.
Since 1989, Boeing has more than thirty reports of cracks in the flap track at WBL 254. Cracks were found in
the area of the rear spar attachment, in the track webs, and in the upper and lower flanges at the aft end of the
track. The cracks in the area of the rear spar attachment were found at the edge of the hole for the outboard
bolt, or at the outer edge of the flange adjacent to the outboard bolt. The cracks in the upper and lower flanges
were 0.1 to 1.5 inches in length, and the cracks in the aft end of the webs were 0.75 to 7.0 inches in length. In
one incident the aft end of a track had cracks through the two lower flanges, through the two webs, and through
the fail-safe spacer. The two upper flanges were all that kept the aft end attached to the remaining part of the
track. Also, a track was found with cracks through the two upper and two lower flanges, and through the two
webs. The fail-safe spacer was all that kept the aft end of this track attached. This track also had a piece broken
out in the curved area of the upper outboard flange.
Some of the reports also show that tracks were found loose and had corrosion in the area of the rear spar
attachment. These tracks that were found loose also had damaged, or missing, anti-fret strips and tapered
shims. Initially, the loose tracks were thought to be caused by a weak bond of, or compression damage to, the
phenolic anti-fret strip installed in the joint between the track and rear spar. But, subsequent reports showed
that the sequence and procedures used during track installation could also be a cause of loose tracks. During
installation, when full torque is applied to the forward attach bolt, it can cause the track to move laterally at the
rear spar joint. If the track moves laterally at the rear spar joint during the installation procedures, it can put a
side load on the inboard aft attach bolt. Then, when the inboard aft attach bolt is tightened to the specified torque
value, some of the torque can be absorbed by friction. Subsequently, because of the friction, the torque applied
to the bolt is not sufficient to hold the track tight against the rear spar structure.
Continued operation with a cracked and/or loose attachment at the rear spar could cause the track to break. A
result of a broken track could be the loss of the outboard trailing edge flap, and may preclude continued safe
flight and landing of the airplane.
The new spares track assemblies have increased upper flange thickness in the attachment area that mates with
the wing rear spar, and improved coatings and processes for corrosion protection. The new track for the
737-100/200 also has an improved fail-safe configuration at the forward end that makes it comparable to the
737-300/400/500 track assembly.

The inspections given in this service bulletin will find the conditions that make repair or replacement of the flap
track necessary. The repairs, scheduled overhauls, correct alignment during installation, and regularly scheduled
maintenance will keep tracks in a serviceable condition. There is no terminating action for this service bulletin.
This service bulletin replaces Service Bulletins 737-57A1082, 737-57A1249, and 737-57A1265.
Boeing Service Related Problem (SRP) 737-SRP-57-0131 is related to this service bulletin.
ACTION (PRR 35005-238RS)
Do an initial inspection of the track webs, track flanges, and the track-to-wing attachment at WBL 254. Look for
stop-drill repairs and cracks in the track webs. Look for stop-drill repairs, cracks, nicks, corrosion pits, galling,
and other signs of damage on the track flanges. Look for corrosion, loose bolts, and a damaged or a missing
anti-fret strip and/or tapered shim at the track-to-wing attachment.
Remove a track from service if it has a stop-drill repair. If possible, make repairs to the edges of the track flange,
but replace the track if cracks are found in the webs.
Disassemble the track-to-wing joint and do more inspections if signs of corrosion, loose bolts, or a damaged or
missing anti-fret strip or tapered shim are found. If necessary make and install a new anti-fret strip, and/or tapered
shim, and remove corrosion and make repairs to the track. Do the procedures to correctly align the track during
assembly of the track-to-wing joint. If the track cannot be repaired, install a serviceable flap track assembly.
During installation of a serviceable flap assembly, do the procedures to correctly align the track during installation.
Do the repeat inspections and schedule the initial, and repeat overhaul, of a flap track at the times given in
Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
Flap track assemblies with short fail-safe bars, part number 65-46428-31 and 65-46428-33 must be removed
from service during inspection or repair.

2. Spares Affected
Examine your spares supply for the parts or components identified in Paragraph 2.C., Parts
Necessary for Each Airplane. If any parts or components are found, refer to Paragraph 2.C. for
the recommended use.
B. Concurrent Requirements
None.
C. Reason
This service bulletin gives the instructions to inspect, repair, overhaul, and replace the flap track at
Wing Buttock Line (WBL) 254.
Since 1989, Boeing has more than thirty reports of cracks in the flap track at WBL 254. Cracks were
found in the area of the rear spar attachment, in the track webs, and in the upper and lower flanges at
the aft end of the track. The cracks in the area of the spar attachment were found at the edge of the
hole for the outboard bolt, or between the center bolt hole and the outboard bolt hole, or at the outer
edge of the flange adjacent to the outboard bolt. The cracks in the upper and lower flanges were 0.1
to 1.5 inches in length, and the cracks in the aft end of the webs were 0.75 to 7.0 inches in length. In
one incident the aft end of a track had cracks through the two lower flanges, through the two webs,
and through the fail-safe spacer. The two upper flanges were all that kept the aft end attached to the
remaining part of the track. Also, a track was found with cracks through the two upper and two lower
flanges, and through the two webs. The fail-safe spacer was all that kept the aft end of this track
attached. This track also had a piece broken out in the curved area of the upper outboard flange.
Some of the reports also show that tracks were found loose and had corrosion in the area of the rear
spar attachment. These tracks that were found loose also had damaged, or missing, anti-fret strips
and tapered shims. Initially, the loose tracks were thought to be caused by a weak bond of, or
compression damage to, the phenolic anti-fret strip installed in the joint between the track and rear
spar. But, subsequent reports showed that the sequence and procedures used during track installation
could also be a cause of loose tracks. During installation, when full torque is applied to the forward
attach bolt, it can cause the track to move laterally at the rear spar joint. If the track moves laterally at
the rear spar joint during the installation procedures, it can put a side load on the inboard aft attach
bolt. Then, when the inboard aft attach bolt is tightened to the specified torque value, some of the
torque can be absorbed by friction. Subsequently, because of the friction, the torque applied to the bolt
is not sufficient to hold the track tight against the rear spar structure.
Continued operation with a cracked and/or loose attachment at the rear spar could cause the track to
break. A result of a broken track could be the loss of the outboard trailing edge flap, and may preclude
continued safe flight and landing of the airplane.
The new spares track assemblies have increased upper flange thickness in the attachment area that
mates with the wing rear spar, and improved coatings and processes for corrosion protection. The new
track for the 737-100/200 also has an improved fail-safe configuration at the forward end that makes
it comparable to the 737-300/400/500 track assembly.
The inspections given in this service bulletin will find the conditions that make repair or replacement
of the flap track necessary. The repairs, scheduled overhauls, correct alignment during installation,
and regularly scheduled maintenance will keep tracks in a serviceable condition. There is no terminating
action for this service bulletin.

D. Description
Do an initial inspection of the track webs, track flanges, and the track-to-wing attachment at WBL 254.
Look for stop-drill repairs and cracks in the track webs. Look for stop-drill repairs, cracks, nicks, corrosion
pits, galling, and other signs of damage on the track flanges. Look for corrosion, loose bolts, and a
damaged or a missing anti-fret strip and/or tapered shim at the track-to-wing attachment.
Remove a track from service if it has a stop-drill repair. If possible, make repairs to the edges of the
track flange, but replace the track if cracks are found in the webs.
Disassemble the track-to-wing joint and do more inspections if signs of corrosion, loose bolts, or a
damaged or missing anti-fret strip or tapered shim are found. If necessary make and install a new
anti-fret strip, and/or tapered shim, and remove corrosion and make repairs to the track. Do the
procedures to correctly align the track during assembly of the track-to-wing joint. If the track cannot be
repaired, install a serviceable flap track assembly. During installation of a serviceable flap assembly,
do the procedures to correctly align the track during installation.
Do the repeat inspections and schedule the initial, and repeat overhaul, of a flap track at the times
given in Paragraph 1.E., Compliance.
Flap track assemblies with short fail-safe bars, part number 65-46428-31 and 65-46428-33, must be
removed from service if damage is found during an inspection or repair. If damage is not found, these
flap tracks with short fail-safe bars must be removed from service at the initial overhaul.
NOTE: It will be necessary to keep records of the flap tracks because they can be moved from one
airplane to another.
NOTE: The steel flap track and the aluminum spacer block are a machined set. During initial assembly,
the aluminum spacers are machined to fit the machined slot in the steel tracks. Thus, each
assembly must be kept together, as a machined set, during the overhaul procedures.
The airplane effectivity is divided in three groups as follows:
 Group 1 are 737-100/200 airplanes with 65-46428-() or 65C35380-( ) Flap Track Assemblies. The

webs of the track. Removal of the finish is not necessary, unless signs of cracks or corrosion are found
during the subsequent inspections.
(b)
Caution: DO NOT PRESSURE WASH THE FLAP TRACK. WATER OR SOLVENTS UNDER HIGH
PRESSURE CAN GET UNDER THE FASTENER HEADS AND BETWEEN THE WEBS AND SPACER
BAR. A RESULT CAN BE UNWANTED CORROSION AND CRACKS.
Do a detailed visual inspection along the full length of the upper and lower flanges of the flap track.
Look for stop-drill repairs, cracks, nicks, corrosion pits, galling, pieces broken off, or other signs of
damage. Give special attention to the edges of the flanges. Reject a track that shows these signs of
damage, or has existing stop-drill repairs.
(c)
Do a detailed visual inspection along the full length of the track webs. Look for stop-drill repairs, cracks,
or other signs of damage. During the inspection, give special attention to the area adjacent to the fas-
tener countersinks in the webs.

(a)
Measure the width (W) of the track in the repair area. Measure the thickness (T) of the track in the repair
area at the four locations shown. Do not include the thickness of the tapered shim.
(b)
If the width and thickness are in the limits shown in the tables: Continue with the inspection of the
bushing.
-
If the width and thickness are not in the limits shown in the tables: Write to Boeing for repair instructions.-

Refer to BSOPM 20-50-03 and remove the bushing if it was rejected during the inspection.(c)
Note: It can be necessary to remove the tapered shim before you remove the bushing. To remove the
tapered shim use a heat gun to make the sealant soft, and then use steel lockwire to cut the sealant
between the lower surface of the shim and the track. Find and record the thickness of the tapered shim
before removal. To find the shim thickness do one of these procedures:
— Measure the shim thickness before removal.
— Refer to the thickness that is recorded on the decal bonded to the wing rear spar adjacent to the
flap track.
— Use the procedure given in 737-100/200 AMM 27-51-151 for Group 1 and Group 2 Airplanes and
737-300/400/500 AMM 27-51-49 for Group 3 Airplanes.
Note: The anti-fret strip must be installed if you use the AMM procedure to find the shim thickness.
Do a detailed visual inspection of the hole. Look for signs of corrosion.(d)
If corrosion is found: Increase the hole diameter, as given in BSOPM 20-10-01, to remove corrosion.
Make and install a repair bushing. Hole diameter, before bushing installation, must remain in the limits
shown in the tables.
-
Do a detailed visual inspection of the d1 and d3 holes. Look for signs of corrosion.(e)
— If corrosion is found: Increase the hole diameters as given in BSOPM 20-10-01 to remove the cor-
rosion. Hole diameters must remain in the limits shown in the rework tables.
Make the bushing from 15-5PH or 17-4PH 180-200 ksi Steel Bar, AMS 5643, as shown in the 737 OHM
57-53-15. Use the dimensions shown in this service bulletin illustration. The outer diameter (OD) must
be 0.0015 - 0.0017 inches larger than the diameter of the hole. Apply cadmium plating to all surfaces
of the bushing as given in BSOPM 20-42-05, Finish Code F-15.02.
(f)
Refer to BSOPM 20-50-03 and install the bushing with the shrink fit procedure. Make sure the bushing
does not protrude above the upper surface of the track, within 0.000/ -0.003 inches.
