t
| Do not over-stretch circlips. |
t
| Always renew circlips which have been damaged or over-stretched. |
t
| Circlips must be properly seated in the base of the groove. |
t
| Renew spring pins. Position: the slit -A- should be in line with the line of force -arrow-. |
t
| Loosen the nuts and bolts in reverse sequence to the specified tightening sequence. |
t
| Nuts and bolts which secure covers and housings should be loosened and tightened in diagonal sequence and in stages if no tightening sequence is specified. |
t
| Loosen and tighten particularly sensitive parts in diagonal sequence and in stages, taking care to keep them straight. |
t
| The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled nuts and bolts. |
t
| Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts. |
t
| Use a wire brush to clean the threads of bolts which are secured with locking fluid. Then apply locking fluid -AMV 185 101 A1- to bolt threads before installing. |
t
| Threaded holes which take self-locking bolts or bolts coated with locking fluid must be cleaned (using a tap or similar). Otherwise there is a danger of the bolts shearing off the next time they are removed. |
t
| Use a micrometer to measure the shims at several points. Tolerance variations make it possible to obtain the exact shim thickness required. |
t
| Check for burrs and damage. |
t
| Do not install shims which are damaged or not in perfect condition. |
t
| Install needle bearings so the lettering (side with thicker metal) faces towards the installing tool. |
t
| Grease needle bearing for gearbox input shaft in rear of flywheel. |
t
| Lubricate all bearings in gearbox housing with gear oil before installing. |
t
| When removing gearbox, remove clutch slave cylinder without disconnecting pipes. |
t
| Do not depress the clutch pedal after removing the clutch slave cylinder if the hydraulic pipe is still connected. Otherwise the piston will be pressed out of the clutch slave cylinder. As a result the clutch slave cylinder will be destroyed. |
t
| If the clutch pedal does not return to its initial position after releasing it, you must bleed the clutch system (further measures → Chapter). |
t
| Note assembly instructions for SAC pressure plate → Chapter. |
t
| On vehicles with SAC pressure plate an adjuster ring has to be reset when only the clutch plate is renewed → Chapter. |
t
| If the clutch has burnt out, thoroughly clean the bell housing, flywheel and parts of the engine facing the gearbox in order to prevent odours. |
