Disassembly And Assembly of Parts




Removal of parts
Begin work only after first learning which parts and subassemblies must be removed and disassembled for replacement or repair.




Disassembly
If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring many parts to be disassembled, all parts should be disassembled in a way that will not affect their performance or external appearance Additionally, these parts should be identified so that reassembly can be done easily and efficiently.




Arrangement of parts
All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged for reassembly. Separate or otherwise identify the parts to be replaced from those that will be reused.




Cleaning parts for reuse
All parts that will be reused should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned using appropriate methods.




Reassembly
Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts.
If removed, the following parts should be replaced with new ones:
1. Oil seals
2. O-rings
3. Cotter pins
4. Gaskets
5. Lock Washers
6. Nylon nuts




Depending on location:
1. Sealant should be applied or new gaskets installed.
