Check annulus gear dowels (74) for wear / damage, remove and replace if required.
b)
Fit annulus gear (17) onto annulus carrier (18) and secure with annulus gear setscrews
and annulus gear setscrew lockplates (73), ensuring that two of lockplates are fitted
across dowel holes to prevent dowels from working out in service.
c)
Tighten setscrews to 105 - 150 lbs. ft. (142 - 203Nm.) and lock them in position by
