Check that the coolant guide is in place. Secure if necessary.
Removing the screwed joint from the intermediate section
First remove the M7 screws from the intermediate section.
Then remove the M8 screws. Start at the outer edges and work alternately towards the center.
Remove the M10 screws in the same way.
Separating the intermediate section from the cylinder block
Caution! The bearing covers are not interchangeable. Also note the position of the upper half of the axial bearing for the direction of rotation
of the crankshaft. The crankshaft must not rotate.
Carefully pry the intermediate section from the cylinder block so that there is a gap of approximately 6-8 mm.
Then carefully tap off (on the exhaust side) the intermediate section with a rubber mallet.
Lift out the intermediate section. Ensure that the bearing covers for the intermediate section come with it.
Note! The bearing covers for the different bearing recesses are not interchangeable.
Ensure that the screws for the flywheel and carrier plate, which were installed earlier, are properly tightened. Lift them and the front of the crankshaft.
Carefully lift the crankshaft straight up.
