Bolts and Nuts







Bolts and Nuts

Loosen or tighten bolts and nuts for the covers or housings diagonally.

The tightening specifications stated apply to non-lubricated nuts and bolts.

Use a wire brush to clean the threads of the bolts that were installed using locking fluid. Install the bolts with liquid locking fluid (AMV 185 100 A1).

Use a thread tap to clean all threaded holes containing self locking bolts to remove any locking fluid residue. Otherwise the bolts could shear the next time they are removed.

Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
