 says that's no longer true. This is now a unit maintenance task and will be added to Chap 7 of TM 9-2350-388-20-1-4.

In addition to removing and installing the PPC, here are two "tricks of the trade" that will help keep the PPC on the job: 1. If the old PPC is beyond repair and a new one must be ordered, eyeball See eyeballs and eyeball driven.  the old PPC mounting plate and screws closely. You'll need to decide if the old plate and screws can be reused with the new PPC.

Many times the mounting plate and screws are rusted to the old PPC. If that's the case, don't try to reuse them. Order a new plate, NSN 5340-01-456-9847, and screws, NSN 5305-01-382-6007, to mount the new PPC.
