Main Rotor Grip Replacement

Remove both blade bolts and main rotor blades. If working on the upper rotor,
remove the fl ybar and linkage. The only way to remove the blade grip is to cut
the grip on both sides as shown. Remove the two halves. Remove the two metal

pivot pins from the head block. Slide the two metal pivot pins from the center of
each grip into the blade grip. Press these pins in until they are fl ush. Align the
new blade grip on the head block and from the outside of the grip. Push the pins
into the head block. Install the fl ybar and main rotor blades.

Replacing the Flybar

Remove the fl ybar linkage from the blade grip. Press outward on one side of
the head block and simply rotate the fl ybar carrier from the head block. Once
the fl ybar carrier has been removed, press the fl ybar weights inward and turn
them 90°. Now pull them off the end of the fl ybar. Remove the fl ybar linkage
from the old fl ybar and install the linkage onto the new fl ybar. Install the fl ybar
weights onto the new fl ybar and slide the fl ybar pivot back onto the head block.
Reinstall the fl ybar linkage.
