ENGINE - Combustion Assembly (72-41-00) - Repair of HPT Inner Stationary Seal Honeycomb
B. Description
This Service Bulletin provides actions needed on the affected HPT inner stationary
seal with its serial number listed in T able 1 of paragraph 1.A., E ffectivity.
C. Compliance
Category 3
CFM recommends that you do this Service Bulletin at the next shop visit of the
engine as follows:
The following quick turn shop visit type is exempt from compliance to this Service
Bulletin:
- The removal of a disk, hub, or spool for purposes other than LLP expiration, and
which does not require the separation of a major module ﬂange.
Impact A
This recommendation is to address a condition that may affect Flight Safety.
NOTE 1: This Service Bulletin can be accomplished in shop.
This Service Bulletin is offered to improve the reliability or performance
of your CFM product, or to help prevent the occurrence of the event or
condition described in this Service Bulletin. If the operator elects not to
participate in the bulletin, that decisi on will be taken into consideration by
CFM in evaluating future product performance issues that may arise in the
operator’s ﬂeet.
NOTE 2: Some steps in paragraph 3., A CCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS are
identiﬁed as Required for Compliance (RC). If this Service Bulletin is
mandated by an Airworthiness Dir ective (AD), the steps identi ﬁed as RC
must be done to comply with the AD. Steps not identi ﬁed with RC are
recommended and may be deviated from; done as a part of other actions; or
done with accepted methods different from those given in the Service Bulletin
if the RC steps can be done and the airplane returned to a serviceable
condition.
D. Concurrent Requirements
None.
E. Reason
(1) Objective:
T o repair the HPT inner stationary seal that may have a condition that could
affect ﬂight safety.

ENGINE - Combustion Assembly (72-41-00) - Repair of HPT Inner Stationary Seal Honeycomb
(2) Condition:
The affected HPT inner stationary seal may have a condition, generated
during a ﬁeld replacement of honeycomb, which could lead to a localized
separation of the replaced honeycomb. Separated honeycomb could affect
the life of the rotating air HPT front seal.
(3) Cause:
The affected HPT inner stationary seals, at the time of the honeycomb
replacement, may not have received the correct braze heat treat cycle
speciﬁed in the repair.
(4) Improvement:
The braze condition on the HPT inner stationary seal honeycomb will no
longer be suspect if the honeycomb is replaced after December 31, 2012.
(5) Substantiation:
Substantiation is by analysis and ﬂeet experience.
F. Approval
The technical content of this Service Bulletin is approved by the FAA and under the
Authority of DOA No. EASA.21J.086.
G. Manpower
No additional man-hours are required to comply with this Service Bulletin.
H. Weight and Balance
Weight and balance are not changed.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
A. General
(1) For a suspect HPT inner stationary seal (Figure 1) that had a honeycomb
replaced as speci ﬁed in the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-41-03, REPAIR 003 after

(a) Report information to CFM. Refer to paragraph 2.D., P arts Disposition.
(b) No action is necessary. Con ﬁrmation of repair or removal from service is
considered the terminating action for this Service Bulletin.
(2) For a suspect HPT inner stationary seal (Figure 1) which did not have a
honeycomb replacement as speci ﬁed in the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-41-03,
REPAIR 003 after December 31, 2012, continue with paragraph 3.B.,
Removal.
B. Removal
(1) Remove the HPT rotor. Removal instructions have not changed. Refer to the
CFM56-7B ESM, 72-00-52, REMOVAL.

(2) Remove the combustion assembly. Removal instructions have not changed.
Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-00-41, REMOVAL 001.
(3) Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-41-00, DISASSEMBLY for HPT inner
stationary seal removal instructions.
(4) RC - Remove the suspect HPT inner stationary seal (Figure 1).
(5) Continue with paragraph 3.C., I nspection.
C. Inspection
(1) RC - Do an inspection of the suspect HPT inner stationary seal (Figure 1) for
honeycomb condition.
NOTE 1: Honeycomb separation is described as a section of missing honeycomb
if it measures as follows:
– Radially, more than 0.30 inch (7.6 mm).
– Axially, more than 0.75 inch (19.1 mm).
– Circumferentially, any amount.
NOTE 2: Missing honeycomb is caused by an unsatisfactory braze quality
condition that creates areas where the honeycomb is separated from
the backing plate.
(2) If you see honeycomb separation (Figure 1), then remove the suspect HPT
inner stationary seal and do as follows:
(a) Contact CFM if the information of the honeycomb separation is
uncertain. Refer to paragraph 2.D., P arts Disposition.
(b) Send the HPT inner stationary seal (Figure 1) back to CFM. Please
contact your FSE or Fleet Support for detailed instructions on where to
return the removed HPT inner stationary seal.
(c) Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-52-00, DISASSEMBLY for HPT
rotating front seal removal instructions.
(d) RC - Remove the rotating air HPT front seal (Figure 2).
(e) Send the removed rotating air HPT front seal (Figure 2) back to CFM.
Please contact your FSE or Fleet Support for detailed instructions on
where to return the removed rotating air HPT front seal.
(f) Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-52-00, DISASSEMBLY for HPT blade
removal instructions.
(g) RC - Remove the HPT blades (Figure 2) from the HPT rotor.

1 If you do not plan to return the HPT blade set to service, discard
the blade set.
2 If you do plan to return the HPT blade set to service, return the HPT
blade set to an approved repair source for overhaul.
NOTE: Overhauled HPT blades can be returned to service.
(h) Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-61-00, DISASSEMBLY for No. 3 ball
bearing removal instructions.
(i) RC - Remove and discard the No. 3 ball bearing (Figure 3).
(j) Report the information of the removed HPT inner stationary seal (Figure
1) and rotating air HPT front seal (Figure 2) to CFM. Refer to paragraph
2.D., P arts Disposition
(k) Continue with paragraph 3.D., I nstallation.
(3) If you do not see honeycomb separation as speci ﬁed in step 3.C.(2), then
do as follows:
(a) Report to CFM unusual honeycomb condition that does not look like
the normal wear caused by mating rotating air HPT front seal (Figure
2) teeth.
(b) RC - If you do not plan to discard the HPT inner stationary seal, replace
the honeycomb (Figure 1).
(c) Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-41-03, REPAIR 003.
(d) Do an inspection of the exposed areas as speci ﬁed in the applicable
ESM inspection criteria.
(e) Report the information to CFM. Refer to paragraph 2.D., P arts
Disposition.
(f) Continue with paragraph 3.D., I nstallation.

(1) Install the repaired or new HPT inner stat ionary seal (Figure 1). Installation
instructions have not changed. Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-41-00,
ASSEMBLY .
NOTE: A serviceable HPT inner stationary seal is necessary if the removed
suspect HPT inner stationary seal was sent back to CFM as speci ﬁed
in step 3.C.(2)(b).
(2) Install a serviceable rotating air HPT front seal (Figure 2). Installation
instructions have not changed. Refer to the CFM56-7B ESM, 72-52-00,
