If removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones:

Oil seals	Cotter pins
Gaskets	Locknuts (Nylon nuts)
O-rings	Spring pins
Lock washers	-

Depending on location:
- Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be applied to specified locations. When sealant is applied, parts should be installed before sealant hardens to prevent leakage.
- Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts.
- Specified oil or grease should be applied at the prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly.
