Bolts And Nuts

Courtesy of VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC.

Loosen and tighten the bolts and nuts on the covers or housings in a diagonal sequence.
The tightening specifications given apply to unoiled bolts and nuts.
Use a wire brush to clean the threads of the bolts that were installed with locking fluid. Then install the bolts with Locking Fluid. Refer to the Parts Information.
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. Otherwise there is the risk that the bolts could break off when they are removed again.
Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
