t  Do not cant particularly sensitive parts, e.g. the valve body, and loosen or tighten diagonally in stages.
t  Torque settings are specified for unoiled bolts and nuts.
t  Threads of bolts secured with locking fluid must be cleaned with a wire brush. Then insert bolts with locking fluid -AMV 185 100 A1-.
t  Use a thread chaser to clear residual locking fluid from all threaded holes into which self-locking bolts are to be screwed. Otherwise there is a danger of bolts shearing when subsequently being removed.
t  Always renew self-locking bolts and nuts.
