Remove the dirt, mud, dust and foreign objects from the vehicle before disassembling com-
ponents. Wherever required, use the special tools designed for this vehicle.
DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
•
Do not loosen and/or tighten the screws and nuts using pliers or other tools, but always use
the specific wrench.
•
Mark the positions on all the connection joints (hoses, cables, etc.) before separating them
and identify them with different distinctive marks.
•
Each piece should be clearly marked in order to be identified during the installation phase.
•
Carefully clean and wash the disassembled components with detergents with a low flam-
mability grade.
•
Keep the coupled parts together because they have "adapted" to one another following
normal wear.
•
Some components must be used together or replaced entirely.
•
Keep away from heat sources.

Always use the recommended lubricants and consumable material.
•
Lubricate the parts (when possible) before reassembling them.

diagonally. Tighten with subsequent steps before applying the prescribed torque.
•
Always replace the locknuts, gaskets, seal rings, snap rings, O-Rings (OR), cotter pins and
screws if they have damaged thread, with new ones.

After a repair or periodic maintenance operation, carry out the preliminary checks and test
the vehicle on private property or in an area with light traffic.
