We spent the better portion of the day jacking up the bell mouth 18inches inorder to remove the R0 blade of suspect. The #11 blade will need to be rotated to the horizontal joint in order to be extracted. Once removed, we will perform additional tests to determine the true condition of the R0 blade. Testing includes, ECI, Zyglo PT, UT, and possibly taking dental molds of the dovetails. Cross your fingers!
All three stages of buckets were installed last night in addition to the lower half shroud blocks.
Lower half inner barrel was installed.. and as you can see in the photos a shiny new groove was cut in the aft region for the shrouded S17 and EGV's!
The turbine shell should be on its way back from the GE repair shop tomorrow... but when?
