temporary fasteners (Cleco fasteners or equivalent) in the surrounding rivet holes,

while performing the riveting operation. It is not necessary to retrieve the rivet

shop heads from inside the airframe structure.

refer to step c.4 of this TB for further instructions.

(1) Clean the hole of oil, debris and burrs.

(2) Inspect each hole for diameter limits per Table no. 1.

NOTE

The standard Gage Rivet Selector (3P5 or equivalent) may be used to determine

the grip for the CR6253 rivet.

(3) Inspect holes for a proper rivet grip length in the clamped-up condition.
