Fundamental Procedures: Reassembly

• Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts.

  If removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones:

  • Oil seals
  • Gaskets
  • O-rings
  • Lockwashers
  • Cotter pins
  • Nylon nuts

Depending on location:

• Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be applied to specified locations. When sealant is applied, parts should be installed before sealant hardens to prevent leaks.
• Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts.
• Specified oil or grease should be applied at the prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly.
