5.  Using the microscope and tweezers, bend the tip of the thermocouple at 
approximately 10 degree angle by about 0.8 mm [.030 inch] from the tip 
(
Figure 40).

6.  Clean groove and IHS with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and a lint free cloth removing 
all residues prior to thermocouple attachment. 
7.  Place the thermocouple wire inside the groove; letting the exposed wire and bead 
extend about 1.5 mm [0.030 inch] past the end of groove. Secure it with Kapton* 
tape (
Figure 41). Clean the IHS with a swab and IPA. 
8.  Verify under the microscope that the thermocouple wires are straight and parallel 
in the groove and that the bead is still bent.
