Replace or Don’t (Fuel Tank Problem)

[Learjetter]

You already know the answer to your question.

Leaks don’t fix themselves, and will only get worse.
Prep the screws: cut the paint, warm them up, soak in Kroil.
Buy new bits and a new extractor kit.

You are correct sir…. Unfortunately…

This is what mine looked like. 1973 C337G about 2 1/2 years ago. Hopefully the pic attaches.

Aircraft Tool Supply ATS Screw & Bolt Remover (10") is the screw removal tool needed for the job along with a rivet gun. I use only IRWIN IWAF31PH220 20-Piece Impact Screwdriving Phillips #2 in high torque areas like the wing panel screws. While she was opened up i would change the gaskets on the fuel senders also. I always apply a small bead of PRC on the gasket and screw heads of the senders. JoeS

ps. there is a wing and tail boom support instructions in the manual.
