# Removing/Reinstalling the Herelink Cover

{% hint style="warning" %}
Improper installation of this seal can allow water entry to the Herelink Air Unit, which has little internal water resistance. Failure of the Herelink Air Unit would result in a loss of radio link. Repair of this unit requires the entire Astro to be sent to Freefly.
{% endhint %}

### Removing the Herelink Cover

Invert Astro. Remove 3x M2.5 x 5 BHCS and remove Herelink Cover  with Seal from the Astro Chassis underside.

### Reinstalling the Herelink Cover

1. Install Rubber Grommet

The grommet should fit snuggly into the corners of the herelink cover, and there should be a small amount of extra grommet on either end.</p></figcaption></figure>

2\. Use 3x M2.5 x 5 BHCS to mount Herelink Cover to Astro Chassis underside. Apply Loctite 222 to fasteners. Torque to 0.2 newton meters (finger tight).

![Make sure all of the cables exiting from the Herelink are being covered and none are pinched.](/files/Pzk9ZQZD3zPtQ2r0GkhZ)

![Ensure the Herelink grommet's two tails are tucked back onto themselves and that the grommet fits well along its whole length.](/files/sGrteDz7WpC9o2CTHwbv)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.freeflysystems.com/astro/other-user-manuals/ecosystem/components/pilot-handsets/herelink-controller-maintenance/removing-reinstalling-the-herelink-cover.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
