Nuts and Bolts

Nuts and Bolts

• Loosen and tighten securing nuts and bolts for covers and housings diagonally.

• Torque settings are specified for unoiled bolts and nuts.

• Threads of bolts secured with locking fluid must be cleaned with a wire brush. Then insert bolts with locking fluid (AMV 185 100 A1).

• Use a thread chaser to clear residual locking fluid from all threaded holes into which self-locking bolts are to be installed. Otherwise there is a danger of bolts shearing when subsequently being removed.

• Always replace self-locking bolts and nuts.
