To detect cracks or corrosion in the main landing gear aluminum gland nut, P/N 202SD81548, (Menasco Drawing No. 511034), accomplish the following:

(b) Unscrew the left and right main landing gear aluminum gland nut, P/N 202SD81548, so that all threads are visible. Inspect the nut for evidence of cracks or corrosion, using dye penetrant in conjunction with at least a 10-power glass or an equivalent inspection. Cracked or corroded parts must be replaced with an unused part or an equivalent before further flight, except that the airplane may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a base where the repair can be performed.

(c) The repetitive inspection specified in (a) may be discontinued when the aluminum gland nut is replaced by a part made of steel, as per ECD 32590 to Menasco Drawing No. 511034, change L, dated 8 March 1961, or replaced by a steel gland nut in accordance with Eastern Air Lines Drawing No. 204-8125, or with an equivalent part.

(d) Upon submission of substantiating data by an owner or operator through an FAA Maintenance Inspector, the Chief, Engineering & Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Eastern Region, may adjust the initial inspection and the repetitive inspection interval specified in this AD.
