ABSTRACT:
A seal/locking apparatus includes a tapered cover, a locking cap, and a housing. The housing has a opening configured to engage, in a first part of the opening, the tapered cover, and, in a second part of the opening, the locking cap. The tapered cover and the locking cap are configured to cooperate in preventing removal of either from the housing when both are engaged in the opening unless said locking cap is removed first. The seal/locking apparatus is particularly useful when attached to aircraft engines and can be used for replacement of an individual strut in an engine.
