condition in support maintenance shops by repair or replacement of individual frame parts or components.
d. Repair Techniques. Frame repair techniques described in this bulletin are welding, riveting, removal of bolted
members, replacement of bolted members, frame straightening, frame reinforcement, axle alignment, galvanizing repair,
corrosion repair and painting. Ensure that reference material, such as technical data and publications applicable to these
techniques, are readily available for the use of trained and certified personnel.
