Checks and inspections

1. Loosen the lateral tie-rod and remove it from the arm.
2. Loosen the clamps and remove the bellows.
3. Refit by tightening the counternut to the correct torque ensuring that the contact surfaces between the bellows and the shaft are lubricated with silicone grease. When the clamp is installed and closed to the second or third from last tooth, this will enable the lateral arm to rotate freely in the bellows.
