1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The length of bolts and screws for assemblies,
cover plates or boxes is different from one
another, be sure they are correctly installed. In
case of confusion, Insert the bolt into the hole to
compare its length with other bolts, if its length
out side the hole is the same with other bolts, it is
a correct bolt. Bolts for the same assembly should
have the same length.
Tighten assemblies with different dimension
fasteners as follows: Tighten all the fasteners with
fingers, then tighten the big ones with special tool
first diagonally from inside toward outside,
important components should be tightened 2 to 3
times with appropriate increments to avoid warp
unles s otherwise indicated. Bolts and fasteners
should be kept clean and dry. Do not apply oil to
the threads.
When oil seal is installed, fill the groove with
grease, install the oil seal with the name of the
manufacturer facing outside, check the shaft on
which the oil seal is to be installed for smoothness
and for burrs that may damage the oil seal.
Remove residues of the old gasket or sealant
before reinstallation, grind with a grindstone if the
contact surface has any damage.
The ends of rubber hoses (for fuel, vacuum, or
coolant) should be pushed as far as they can go
to their connections so that there is enough room
below the en larged ends for tightening the
clamps.
Rubber and plastic boots should be properly
reinstalled to the original correct positions as
designed.
The tool should be pressed against two (inner
and outer) bearing races when removing a ball
bearing. Damage may result if the tool is pressed
against only one race (either inner race or outer
race). In this case, the bearing should be replaced.
To avoid damaging the bearing, use equal force
on both races.
Both of these examples can result in bearing
damage.
