H-60 Navy A & B Bridge Tool Kits

Return aircraft to mission readiness faster

Designed for the removal and installation of SH-60, MH-60R, MH-60S, and S-70 aircraft forward and aft bridge assembly components.

With hands-on input from Navy H-60 maintainers, these tools are purpose-built. The tools are made from materials and coatings allowing for zero maintenance-induced damage. Superior to conventional methods, the Bridge Tool Kits enable a significant reduction in maintenance labor hours and maintenance induced damage risk (case gouges and displaced dowel pins) to transmissions and components when performing 5-pack transmission main module and/or associated transmission component maintenance.

H-60 Bridge Tools are in two kits – BRIDGE TOOL SET; P/N: 07180A01; NSN: 5210015831759, (aka Navy A kit) and ECCENTRIC/TIE ROD PULLER CASE WITH TOOLS; P/N: 09414A01; NSN: 1720016625673, (aka Navy B kit). Both kits come in waterproof, floatable cases and each tool /case position is specially marked to reduce aircraft FOD risk.

Commercial price versus government price list is available upon request.

Benefits

Labor Savings
- The Bridge Tool Deluxe Kit eliminates bridge removal required during RESET. It also reduces depot maintenance in the bridge area, phases/Time Between Overhauls, and unscheduled bridge components maintenance
- A Navy study found that when using the H-60 Bridge Tool Kit, 75% less labor is required for bridge 5-pack removal per aircraft
Increased Quality and Cost Avoidance
- The positive alignment of Bridge Tools prevents collateral damage to bridge components (gearbox transmission, bellcranks, rods, etc.)
- There’s no need for screwdrivers, pry bars, or 2x4s risking damage to components (structural supports, swashplates, bellcrank supports, etc.)
- The use of Bridge Tools results in no gouges to bridges or transmission cases and no gearbox dowel pins pulling out

Bottom Line

Using EVC’s H-60 Bridge Tool Kits results in an average savings of 48 to 52 labor hours per complete transmission removal event. And there's no damage to associated components from conventional maintenance techniques. Plus, it increases first-pass quality yield to 100%!

A potential return on investment is realized immediately by eliminating a single damage event to just one (1) transmission case, tie rods, or other associated transmission components.

The H-60 Bridge Tool Kits have the right tools for the right job. They improve maintenance process time and quality while reducing costs. The tool kits are approved for use by PM-299 Program Office, Lakehurst, and FRC-East.

* Potential removal possible, only recommended when the component can be partially removed by hand. The preferred method is to use the pullers contained in the 09414A01 kit. ** The Aft Longitudinal Support Puller, P/N 11663A01, was developed after the fielding of the Navy A & B kits and may be purchased separately.
