During assembly, use new parts to replace parts which cannot be reused (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts,
expansion screws, seals, sealing rings, O-rings, pins, and lock washers).
In the case of certain screws, a screw adhesive (e.g.
Loctite
®
) is required. Observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
If thread locker (e.g.,
Precote
®
) has already been applied to a new part, do not apply any additional thread
locker.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change dam-
aged or worn parts.
After completing a repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
