2 Release the pressure in the hydraulic system and drain the fluid reservoir.
3 Drain the radiator and cylinder block.
10 Mark the position of the steering pinion in relation to the steering column and mark the position of the steering in its bearings, before
removal.
25 Do not lose the adjusting shims, fitted between the engine front crossmember and the sidemembers.
Assembly.
27 Adjust the position of the rear engine mountings, using the fixture 1698-T (see Op. DS 133-0 and Pl. 20-21-22-23).
29 Refit the front crossmember of the engine-gearbox assembly: replace the shims, found when dismantling, between the crossmember and the
sidemember in order that the dimension between the brake disc and the sidemember on the left side is greater by 70 2 mm than the same
dimension on the right side (use the total number of shims found when dismantling).
30 Couple up the flexible coupling (bibax) to the brake discs, make sure that the dowels are in position.
31 After having connected the mechanical brake control cables to the front brakes, adjust the connecting cable, the control levers being at the
limit of separation from their eccentric stop.
33 Adjust the manual ignition control: put the control in the centre position (count the number of notches) and put the contact breaker in the
central position (between the 2 stops). Check that the contact breaker can move into the "fully advanced" and "fully retarded" positions.
43 Fit the steering, note the markings made when dismantling (position of the pinion in relation to the steering column and the position of the
steering in its bearings).
45 Adjust the alignment of the steering (fixture 1955-T, see Pl. 125) the groove "C" should be in contact with the centre gauge pin (D) of the
fixture.
NOTE-If the steering has been replaced, position the assembly then adjust the alignment and steering lock (see Op. DS 440-0).
48 Fit the ignition coils: connect the wire with the yellow terminal to the lower breaker (rear terminal) and the wire with the red terminal to
the upper breaker (front terminal) (cars produced before July 1959).
53 Refill the water cooling system (bleed) the vane of the heater control being open. Make sure that the pipe (48) (see PL 25) is warm.
54 Refill the hydraulic fluid reservoir (bleed screw loosened). With the engine idling, tighten the bleed screw and check the unions for leaks.
55 Adjust the clutch clearance: 1 to 2 mm (see Op. DS 314-0, paragraphs 20 to 23).
56 Bleed the hydraulic gear selector: operate the auxiliary clutch control lever several times and make successive movements with the gear
lever through all gears, several times, with the front wheels raised (see Op. DS 334-0).
57 Bleed the brake system (see Op. DS 453-0).
58 Adjust the slow running: normal idling = 550 to 600 r.p.m. and accelerated idling 900 ± 25 r.p.m. (see Op. DS I42-0).
