I try to show how the thrust bearing is attached to the engine cases and the rotor of the J79 / LM1500 gas turbine engine.
Some whiteboard drawing, some real parts, and hopefully some detailed discussion of the thrust bearing installation in the engine we work on all the time here at S&S Turbines.
Removing a stripped nut or bolt. If you have a bolt or nut that has the head stripped and can no longer grab it with a wrench or socket ,then the easy out type socket should help.These sockets are made just for Removing a stripped nut or bolt. There are a lot of company’s making these type of sockets and a wide range of prices.I have a Blue Point set from Snap On and a much cheaper set from Craftsman. Both work well. So if you need to remove a bolt or nut with a rounded head look for some type of easy out socket. Rounded nut or bolt removal tool.
