Bolts And Nuts
- 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. Install the bolts with Locking Fluid:AMV 185 101 A1 .
- Use a thread cutter 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.
- Please make sure that the thread pitch is correct so that the proper thread cutter is used during cleaning, and the thread does not get damaged.
- Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
