TM 1-1520-240-BD • Demate  connector,  determine  contact  type  (pin  or socket) and gage affected. • Use illuminated magnifying glass to aid in determining     part     number     of     connector     to     be repaired. • Use illuminated magnifying glass to aid in determining  type  and  gage  of  the  wire  used  in  the system. • Refer  to  wire  stripper  selection  chart  to  select  the proper stripper blade and handle. • Install  blades  into  stripper  handle  using  the  Proto 9208   nut   driver.      Use   the   contents   chart   from compartment    "A"    to    determine    location    of    nut drivers, stripper blades, and handle. • Refer  to  the  tool  selection  charts  to  determine  the contact's removal or installation tool, the crimp tool, the turret head positioner or die set, and replacement contact part number. NOTE Contact   part   numbers   marked   with an    asterisk    (*)    in    the    charts    are available  in  compartment  B1  and  B4 on    the    MK-0015    Wire    Repair    Kit. Contact   part   numbers   not   marked must  be  obtained  from  other  stock areas. • Remove  the  necessary  tools  from  the  kits'  storage compartment.  Assemble the turret head, positioner, or die set to the crimp tool handle. • Remove    the    damaged    pin    or    socket    from    the connector using the removal tool. • Prepare the wire for the new pin or socket using the wire stripper.  Splice in additional wire, if necessary (paragraph 9-7b(3)(b)). • Select   the   proper   pin   or   socket.      Install   into   the prepared    wire    and    crimp    using    the    crimp    tool assembly.    You  may  observe  proper  wire  insertion into the contact through the contact inspection hole. • Install the pin and socket into the connector using the insertion tool. • Perform the remaining repair actions. • Use the test equipment kit to verify the repairs. • Return   all   the   components   to   the   proper   storage compartments, and prevent FOD. • After     completing     all     repairs     and     verifying     kit inventory, check out aircraft and systems (powered). (3) Wire Repair Kit. (a) Mission    and    Major    Components. The   kit   is   used   to   repair   damaged   aircraft   electrical wires    and    co-axial    cables.        The    kit    contains    the necessary  tools  and  materials  to  strip  and  splice  wire and    heat    shrink    the    environmental    seal    insulation material. Environmentally protected splices are provided for shielded and unshielded wires and co-axial cables    as    well    as    the    preassembled    wire    splice segments.    Bulk,  wire,  wire  shield,  and  heat  shrinkable tubing  stocks  are  also  provided.    The  major  tools  and repair materials are: • Model  HT-900A  Heat  Gun.    The  Model  HT-900A Heat Gun is a compressed air and nitrogen heating tool.    It  provides  a  portable  source  of  heat  for  use with  heat  shrinkable  tubing,  environmentally  sealed splices,  and  meltable  solder  fittings.    The  HT-900A may  be  used  on  fueled  aircraft.    The  heat  gun  is self-contained,    but    requires    compressed    air    or nitrogen and electrical power.  Adaptors are for use with  various  air  or  nitrogen  supply  hoses  and  AC power sources. • Wire   Stripper   and   Cutters.      Wire   strippers   and cutters   are   for   use   on   unshielded   and   shielded wires,   and   co-axial   cable.      Stripper   blades   are provided    for    the    most    common    aircraft    wiring insulation materials.  Instructions for blade selection and stripper operation are supplied. • Crimp   Tools.      The   kit   provides   crimp   tools   and instructions for both wire crimp splices and terminal lugs. 9-5
