• Prepare replacement parts ready for installation.
• Oil seals, packings, O-rings and other rubber parts, gaskets, and
split pins must be replaced with new ones after removal. Use
only genuine MITSUBISHI replacement parts.
• When disassembling parts, visually check them for wear, cracks,
damage, deformation, deterioration, rust, corrosion, defective ro-
tation, fatigue, clogging and any other possible defect.
• To facilitate correct reassembly of parts, make alignment marks
on them before disassembly and arrange disassembled parts
neatly. Make punch marks and other alignment marks where
they will not detract from parts’ functionality and appearance.
• After removing parts from the vehicle, cover the area to keep it
free of dust.
CAUTION
• Be careful not to mix up identical parts, similar parts and
parts that have left/right alignments.
• Keep new replacement parts and original (removed) parts
separately.
• Apply the specified oil or grease to U-seals, oil seals, dust seals
and bearings before reassembly.
• Always use the specified oils and greases when performing in-
spection or replacement. Immediately wipe away any excess oil
or grease with a rag.
