For airplanes that have already accomplished SB Original Issue, Revision 1, or Revision 2, do as follows: A. (Refer to Figure 2, View A-A Inspection.) Do an inspection for sufficient edge distance at the five suspect rivet locations as follows: (1) Remove the Access Panel that is installed in the left wing adjacent to the pitot tube. (2) On the inside of the wing, find the row of rivets installed in the Spar Flange that is inboard of the five suspect rivets. (3) Measure the distance between the line that defines the centers of the holes for this row of rivets and the forward edge of the Spar Flange. Record that distance as Distance A. (4) On the outside of the wing, measure the distance between the line that defines the centers of the holes for the five suspect rivets and the line that defines the centers of the row of rivets installed in the Spar Flange that are inboard of the five suspect rivets. Record that distance as Distance B. NOTE: Tape may be used to establish a reference line for the measurement. Install a piece of tape that picks up the centerline of the fastener row inboard and outboard of the suspect fasteners. (5) Subtract Distance B from Distance A. (a) (b) If the number is 0.18 inch or more, go to Step 4 of this service bulletin. If the number is less than 0.18 inch, go to Step 3.B of this service bulletin. B. Do a second inspection to see if there is sufficient edge distance for the row of five suspect rivets of 0.15 inch or more. (1) Remove rivets that attach the skin to the wing structure until you can move back sufficient wing skin to do a direct inspection for edge distance. (2) Measure the distance between the line that defines the centers of each of the five suspect rivets and the forward edge of the Spar Flange. (a) (b) If the edge distance is 0.15 inch or more, do as follows: 1 Use new rivets of the same type and size as the originals to install the wing skin that youremovedfromthewingstructure. 2 Install the Access Panel with the kept fasteners. 3 Go to Step 4 of this service bulletin.
