Locking Devices

General
Always replace locking devices with one of the same 
design.

Tab washers
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking 
washers. Do not re-use locking tabs.

Locking nuts
Always use a backing spanner when loosening or 
tightening locking nuts, brake and fuel pipe unions.

Roll pins
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the 
hole.

Circlips
Always fit new circlips of the correct size for the 
groove.

Keys and keyways
Remove burrs from edges of keyways with a fine file 
and clean thoroughly before attempting to refit key.

Clean and inspect key closely; keys are suitable for 
refitting only if indistinguishable from new, as any 
indentation may indicate the onset of wear.

Split pins

Always fit new split-pins of the correct size for the 
hole in the bolt or stud.
