(1) If all the conditions specified in subparagraphs a. through g., paragraph 4., Section III., of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-52A2237, dated July 11, 1991, are found to exist, no further action is required.

(2) If any of the conditions specified in subparagraphs a. through f., paragraph 4., Section III., of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-52A2237, dated July 11, 1991, do not exist, repair or replace before further flight, in accordance with Section III. of the service bulletin.

(b) Within 7 days after the completion of the inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, submit to the FAA a report specifying the number of bearings in the guide arm assemblies of each airplane on which any of the condition specified in subparagraphs a., b., or c., paragraph 4., Section III., of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-52A2237, dated July 11, 1991, were not found to exist.
