Where possible. Heat can
warp, melt or affect the temper
of parts. Heat also damages
the finish of paint and plastics.
7. When a part is a press fit or
requires a special tool to
remove, the information or type
of tool is identified in the text.
Otherwise, if a part is difficult to
remove or install, determine the
cause before proceeding.
8. To prevent objects or debris
from falling into the engine cover
all openings.
9. Read each procedure thoroughly
and compare the illustrations to
the actual components before
starting the procedure.
10. Recommendations are
occasionally made to refer
service to a dealership or
specialist. In these cases, the
work can be performed more
economically by the specialist
than by the home mechanic.
11. The term replaces means to
discard a defective part and
replace it with a new part.
Overhaul means to remove,
disassemble, inspect,
measure, repair and/or replace
parts as required to recondition
an assembly.
12. Some operations require using a
hydraulic press. If a press is not
available, have these operations
performed by a shop equipped
with the necessary equipment.
Do not use makeshift equipment
that may damage the UV.
13. Repairs are much faster and
easier if the UV is clean before
starting work. Degrease the
UV with a commercial
degreaser; follow the directions
on the container for the best
results. Clean all parts with
cleaning solvent when
removing them.
CAUTION
Do not direct high pressure water
at steering bearings, fuel hoses,
wheel bearings, suspension and
electrical components. Water may
force grease out of the bearings
and possibly damage the seals.
14. If special tools are required,
have them available before
starting the procedure. When
special tools are required, they
are described at the beginning of
the procedure.
15. Make diagrams of similar-
appearing parts. For instance,
crankcase bolts are often not the
same lengths. Do not rely on
memory alone. Carefully laid out
parts can become disturbed,
making it difficult to reassemble
the components correctly.
16. Make sure all shims and
washers are reinstalled in the
same location and position.
