Bolts And Nuts
- Loosen or tighten screws and nuts on the covers or housings diagonally.
- The tightening specifications stated apply to non-oiled nuts and bolts.
- Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts that were installed with locking compound. Install the bolts with Locking Fluid :AMV 185 101 A1 .
- If self-locking bolts were installed or if regular bolts were installed with locking fluid, then the threaded holes must be cleaned, for example with a thread tap. If the holes are not cleaned, then the bolts could break off the next time they are removed.
- Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
