recommended “work method”
- Remove all dirt, mud, dust and other foreign material before disassembly. Use appropriate tools and cleaning equipment.
- When removing parts, always keep them together in their pairs. This includes gears, cylinders, pistons and other parts subjected to
natural wear in their pairs. Pairs of parts should always be replaced together.
- While removing parts, clean them and place them in trays in their order of removal. This will speed up reassembly and ensure that all
parts are properly fitted.
- Use original gg spare parts and gg recommended lubricants. non-original or non-compliant spare parts can damage the vehicle. other
brands may look similar in function and appearance, but are inferior in quality.
- carefully check all circlips before assembly. always replace the pin circlips after each use.
Replace any deformed circlips. When installing a circlip, make sure that the sharp edge is on the side opposite to where force is applied.
- Replace all gaskets, seals and o-rings when servicing the engine. all surfaces that support gaskets, seals and o-rings should be cleaned.
- after removing them, replace all sealing/spacer washers and external tooth lock washers.
- fit bearings and seals in such a way that the manufacturers’ brands are visible. When fitting seals, apply a thin layer of light grease with a
lithium soap base on their lips. if necessary, apply plenty of oil when fitting bearings.
- When fitting bearings and seals, ensure that uniform pressure is exerted on both tracks in order not to damage them.
- during assembly, always use new gaskets, seals, compression rings and pins.
- after disassembly, clean the components with non-flammable or non-high flash point solvents. grease all work surfaces prior to assembly,
excluding conical fittings.
- after assembly, check that all components have been properly fitted and that they work correctly.
- only use metric tools during disassembly, servicing and assembly operations. Metric screws, nuts and bolts are not interchangeable with
connecting elements that have imperial measurements. Using inappropriate tools and connecting elements may damage the vehicle.
- if working on the vehicle’s electrical system, check that the electrical connections are correct, especially earth connections.
