i've never heard of those... even bulkhead-type universal fittings are supposed to be torqued upon installation yielding roughly the same length each time...

Hi everyone out there, I am in the hydro backshop at Dyess AFB. This is my first post!. I have a question about the ramp actuators. According to the TO to put masking tape over the nut, then fill the elephant ear up with behalf "to the top of the nut and three adjacent nuts" then remove the tape. What is the purpose of this? Is the b 1/2 just there to prevent corrosion? Our swing shift red x guy keeps pulling the b 1/2 off and filling it to the very top of the channel every time... very frustrating! any thoughts!
