–  Unscrew the attachment bolt for the gearbox and tighten the support -T10358-, as shown in the figure. –  Fit the hooks of the support device -10-222A- to the bracket -T10358-, as shown in the figure. –  Turn the spindle until the hooks are slightly tensioned.

–  Release the hook -1- in the left hand side ring and move the spindle to the left hand side of the support device -10-222A-. –  Remove camshaft housing → Chapter. –  Remove roller rocker fingers together with support elements and lay aside on a clean surface. –  Ensure that the roller rocker fingers and the support elements are not mixed up.

–  Loosen socket head bolts in the sequence given and then remove completely. –  Carefully remove cylinder head.
