Bolts And Nuts
- Always loosen or tighten the bolts or nuts for covers and housings diagonally.
- Especially delicate parts, such as clutch pressure plates, must not be distorted. Loosen and tighten bolts and nuts in stages and in a diagonal sequence.
- The tightening specifications stated apply to non-lubricated nuts and bolts.
- Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
- Make sure the contact surfaces and visible surfaces on the nuts and bolts are waxed after assembling.
- Use a thread tap to clean all threaded holes containing self-locking bolts to remove any locking compound residue. Otherwise the bolts could shear the next time they are removed.
