Bolts And Nuts
- Loosen the bolts opposite the tightening sequence.
- Tighten the bolts or the nuts in steps to secure the covers and housings according to the specified tightening sequence and methods.
- Bolts or nuts which secure covers and housings should be loosened and tightened diagonally and in steps if no tightening sequence is specified.
- Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
- If not otherwise specified: clean the threads of the bolts which were installed with locking fluid with a wire brush. Then insert the bolts with fluid locking compound. Refer to the Parts Information.
- Threaded bolt holes where self-locking bolts or bolts with locking compound will be installed must be cleaned (for example, using a thread tap). Otherwise there is the risk that the bolts could break off when they are removed again.
- The tightening specifications given apply to non-lubricated bolts and nuts.
