Locking devices
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking
washers, do not re-use locking tabs.
Fitting a split pin
Always fit new split-pins of the correct size for the hole
in the bolt or stud. Do not slacken back castle nuts
when fitting split pin.
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the
hole.
Circlips, retaining rings
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that are
removed. Removal weakens and deforms circlips
causing looseness in the circlip groove. When
installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to
compress or expand them only enough to install them
Always use the correct replacement circlip as
recommended in the Triumph parts catalogue.
Self locking nuts
Self-locking nuts can be re-used, providing resistance
can be felt when the locking portion passes over the
thread of the bolt or stud.
DO NOT re-use self-locking nuts in critical locations,
e.g. suspension components. Always use the correct
replacement self-locking nut.
Encapsulated bolt
An encapsulated bolt can be identified by a coloured
section of thread which is treated with a locking agent.
Unless a specified repair procedure states otherwise,
encapsulated bolts cannot be reused and MUST be
replaced if disturbed or removed.
WARNING:
Failure to replace an
encapsulated bolt could lead to a
dangerous riding condition. Always replace
encapsulated bolts.
Oil and grease seals
Replace any oil or grease seals that are removed.
Removal will cause damage to an oil seal which, if
re-used, would cause an oil leak.
Ensure the surface on which the new seal is to run is
free of burrs or scratches. Renew the component if the
original sealing surface cannot be completely restored.
Protect the seal from any surface which could cause
damage over which it has to pass when being fitted.
Use a protective sleeve or tape to cover the relevant
surface and avoid touching the sealing lip.
Lubricate the sealing lips with a recommended
lubricant. This will help to prevent damage in initial
use. On dual lipped seals, smear the area between the
lips with grease.
When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer's
marks, press in with the marks facing out.
Seals must be pressed into place using a suitable
driver. Use of improper tools will damage the seal.
Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a
wheel bearing, should first be coated with oil on its
outer or inner circumference so that it will locate
smoothly.
Ball bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which
is an interference fit should be pushed by a suitable
driver. This prevents severe stress or damage to the
load carrying components. Press a ball bearing until it
touches the shoulder in the bore or on the shaft.
Press or drift seals to the depth of its housing, with the
sealing lip facing the lubricant to be retained if the
housing is shouldered, or flush with the face of the
housing where no shoulder is provided.
