Tab Washer Installation
Tab washers are used in various locations in TCM engines. Do not re-use tab washers.
Always install new tab washers.
Procedure
1.
Insert the locator tab (bent part of the tab washer) in the predrilled hole.
2.
Lubricate and torque hardware in accordance with Appendix B in this manual.
3.
Using a soft drift, bend the lock tab on the other side of the tab washer firmly against
the bolt or nut flats as shown in Figure C-3. Ensure the lock tabs are bent flat up
against the hardware without protrusion as shown in top and side views to properly
lock the hardware and prevent the lock tabs from breaking off.
