Figure 2-212. Side Case Latch Mechanism
NOTE
See Figure 2-212. In order to access the two rivets
securing the latch to the side case it will be necessary to
unlock the latch to expose the rivet heads.
When drilling out the rivet heads try to make sure you do
not spin the rivet in the plastic body of the side case. This
could cause the rivet hole to enlarge due to excessive
heat and make the hole unserviceable. If this happens,
the side case must be replaced.
1. Open desired case in order to access the latch mechanism
for replacement.
2. Drill out the rivet heads using a 3/16 drill bit. Remove and
discard two rivets from existing latch mechanism.
3. Slide latch mechanism out of case.
Installation
1. Slide new latch mechanism into side case.
NOTE
Before tightening each rivet verify that there is a flat washer
on the inside on the rivet you are tightening.
2. See Figure 2-212. Install two new rivets into latch mech-
anism and tighten.
