(7) Disconnect the fuel lines by removing clamps and cutting the flexible connections.
(8) Disconnect the fuel quantity probe lead.
(9) Disconnect the taxi/recognition and navigation/strobe light leads.
(10) Support the outboard wing.
(11) Free the main spar splice plate and angles by drilling out the rivets and removing the Hi-Lok
pins and collars from the inboard ends of the splice plate and angles (i.e. - inboard of W.S.
107.50). (See Figure 2.)
NOTE: The 22 Hi-Loks securing the inboard section of the main spar splice plate penetrate
the aft wall of the inboard fuel tank and their collars must be accessed through that
fuel tank's outboard access panel.
(12) Free the aft spar splice plate and angles by drilling out the rivets securing their inboard ends
(i.e. - inboard of W.S. 107.50). (See Figure 1.)
NOTE: The rivets securing the inboard section of the aft spar splice angles also retain
nutplates for an aileron cable pulley bracket. As these rivets are drilled out, reach
inside the wing access which doubles as the pitot head mount and capture and
remove the three nutplates. Set them aside for reuse.
(13) Carefully remove the outboard wing, being certain that all electrical leads, fuel and vent lines,
and control cables are disconnected.
B. Installation
NOTE: When installing a "replacement" wing or wing section, perform Stall Warning Flight Test
Procedure, 27-30-00, upon completion of wing installation.
(1) Carefully position the outboard wing, aligning its splice plates and angles with the holes in the
inboard wing main and rear spars.
(2) Use a string of suitable length extended from the inboard wing leading edge next to the
fuselage out to the outboard wing tip to help maintain true alignment of the wing sections. Also,
extend a string from the wing tip to the stabilizer, marking its length and checking this with the
opposite wing and stabilizer, using the same reference points on both wings and stabilizers.
(3) While maintaining proper alignment of the wing, install the Hi-Lok pins and rivets into the spars
and splice plates per Figure 2. Refer to the PA-46-500TP Illustrated Parts Catalog for correct
rivet part numbers and locations.
NOTE: When riveting the the aft spar splice angles, be sure to reinstall the three aileron cable
bracket nutplates drilled out during Removal, above.
(4) Seal the inboard fuel tank.
(5) Connect the leads from the taxi/recognition and navigation/strobe lights.
(6) Connect the fuel and vent lines, using new flexible connections.
(7) Connect the fuel quantity probe lead.
(8) Install the wing splice skin at W.S. 107.50 - 116.00.
(9) Install the aileron cable pulley assemblies, sector assembly, and aileron cable.
(10) Install the flap per Wing Flaps - Installation, 57-50-00.
(11) Install the aileron per Aileron - Installation, 57-50-00.
(12) Check operation of the taxi/recognition lights and navigation/strobe lights.
(13) Check fuel system for leaks and flow. (refer to 28-10-00, Fuel System Leakage Inspection.)
(14) Calibrate fuel quantity indicator per Fuel Quantity Indication Calibration, 28-40-00.
(15) Fill the fuel system per 12-10-00.
(16) Make appropriate logbook entry.
