1. *Remove starter/generator and thoroughly clean male and female splines. Lubricate both
splines with above lubricant and re-install.
NOTE: Re-install starter/generator gently as it is possible to damage the

internal starter drive seal causing engine oil to leak through the
starter base drain.
2. If aircraft has an air conditioning system with an engine-driven compressor, remove the
drive pad assembly from the engine and clean male and female splines. Lubricate both
splines with above lubricant and re-install.
CAUTION: Do not over-torque the drive pad attach bolts or thread damage to the
engine case may occur. Apply only 50 inch-pounds of torque to the
attach bolts.
*This is not required on engines having wet spline configuration. There are two ways you can
determine if your engine is set up for the wet spline starter-generator. The easiest is to check the
part number of the starter-generator. If it is p/n 23048-028, 23078-020, 250SG111Q-2-1, or
300SGL153Q-1, then it is a wet spline starter-generator. An alternate way to determine if your
engine is set up for the wet spline starter-generator is to inspect the starter-generator drive gear
spline. The starter-generator must be removed to accomplish this. If the internal drive gear spline
starts at the aft end of the gear, the engine is set up for the dry spline starter-generator. If the
internal spline starts approximately 1/2 inch into the bore of the drive gear, the engine is set up for
the wet spline starter-generator.
