GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS

INFORMATION

PREPARATION

1. Before removing a component, clean it and its

surrounding areas as thoroughly as possible.

2. Blank off any openings exposed by component

removal, using greaseproof paper and masking
tape.

3. Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when

separated, using plastic caps or plugs, to
prevent loss of fluid and entry of dirt.

4. Close open ends of oilways, exposed by

component removal, with tapered hardwood
plugs or readily visible plastic plugs.

5. Immediately a component is removed, place it in

a suitable container; use a separate container for
each component and its associated parts.

6. Before dismantling a component, clean it

thoroughly with a recommended cleaning agent;
check that agent is suitable for all materials of
component.

7. Clean bench and provide marking materials,

labels, containers and locking wire before
dismantling a component.

DISMANTLING

1. Observe scrupulous cleanliness when

dismantling components, particularly when
brake, fuel or hydraulic system parts are being
worked on. A particle of dirt or a cloth fragment
could cause a dangerous malfunction if trapped
in these systems.

2. Blow out all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and

fluid passages with an air line. Ensure that any
O-rings used for sealing are correctly replaced or
renewed, if disturbed.

3. Use marking ink to identify mating parts, to

ensure correct reassembly. If a centre punch or
scriber is used they may initiate cracks or
distortion of components.

4. Wire together mating parts where necessary to

prevent accidental interchange (e.g. roller
bearing components).

5. Wire labels on to all parts which are to be

renewed, and to parts requiring further
inspection before being passed for reassembly;
place these parts in separate containers from
those containing parts for rebuild.

6. Do not discard a part due for renewal until after

comparing it with a new part, to ensure that its
correct replacement has been obtained.

INSPECTION-GENERAL

1. Never inspect a component for wear or

dimensional check unless it is absolutely clean;
a slight smear of grease can conceal an incipient
failure.

2. When a component is to be checked

dimensionally against figures quoted for it, use
correct equipment (surface plates, micrometers,
dial gauges, etc.) in serviceable condition.
Makeshift checking equipment can be
dangerous.

3. Reject a component if its dimensions are outside

limits quoted, or if damage is apparent. A part
may, however, be refitted if its critical dimension
is exactly limit size, and is otherwise satisfactory.

4. Use ’Plastigauge’ 12 Type PG-1 for checking

bearing surface clearances. Directions for its
use, and a scale giving bearing clearances in
0,0025 mm steps are provided with it.
