Fundamental Procedures: Reassembly

• Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts.

  If removed, replace these parts with new ones:

  • Oil seals
  • Gaskets
  • O-rings
  • Lockwashers
  • Cotter pins
  • Nylon nuts

Depending on location:

• Apply sealant and gaskets, or both, to specified locations. When sealant is applied, install parts before sealant hardens to prevent leaks.
• Apply oil to the moving components of parts.
• Apply specified oil or grease at the prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly.
