CD-27 Coupling Access

Post by Chuck Yahrling »

Is there a preferred method for getting to the shaft coupling bolts? I've tried leaning over the engine and also reaching in after climbing down into the port locker, but both are pretty painful. Any hints?

I accessed the stuffing box by leaning over the engine from the cabin. I also tried from the port locker, and you have to be a contortionist to be comfortable, but it is doable there too.
