Never lubricate a thread unless instructed to do so.
When a thread of a fixing is lubricated, the thread friction is reduced. When the fixing
is tightened, reduced friction will cause over tightening and possible fixing failure.
A fixing which fails in service could cause component detachment leading to loss of
control and an accident.
Locking Devices
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking washers. Do not reuse locking tabs.
Fitting a Split Pin
Always fit new split pins of the correct size for the hole in the bolt or stud. Do not loosen
back castle nuts when fitting a split pin, except in those recommended cases when this
forms part of an adjustment.
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the hole.
Circlips, Retaining Rings
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that are removed. Removal weakens and deforms
circlips causing looseness in the circlip groove. When installing circlips and retaining
rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them.
Always use the correct replacement circlip as recommended in the Triumph parts
catalogue.
