General fitting instructions

Precautions against damage 
To avoid damage to the vehicle when carrying out 
repairs, always adhere to the following:

l

Always fit wing and seat covers before 
commencing work. Avoid spilling brake fluid or 
battery acid on paintwork; immediately wash off 
with water  if this occurs.

l

Disconnect the battery earth lead before starting 
work, see ELECTRICAL  PRECAUTIONS.

l

Always use the recommended service tool or a 
satisfactory equivalent where  specified.

l

Protect exposed bearing surfaces, sealing 
surfaces and screw threads from damage.

Component removal
Whenever possible, clean components and 
surrounding area before removal.

l

Blank off openings exposed by component 
removal.

l

Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when 
apertures are  exposed; use plastic caps or 
plugs to prevent loss of fluid and ingress of  dirt.

l

Close open ends of oilways exposed by 
component removal with tapered  hardwood 
plugs or conspicuous plastic plugs.

l

Immediately a component is removed, place it in 
a suitable container;  use a separate container 
for each component and its associated parts.

l

Clean bench and provide marking materials, 
labels, containers and  locking wire before 
dismantling a component.

Dismantling
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 
serious malfunction  if trapped in these systems.

Use the following procedures:

l

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 during the process.

l

Use marking ink to identify mating parts and 
ensure correct reassembly.  Do not use a centre 
punch or scriber to mark parts, they could 
initiate cracks  or distortion in marked 
components.

l

Wire together mating parts where necessary to 
prevent accidental  interchange (e.g. roller 
bearing components).

l

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.

l

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.

Cleaning components
Always use the recommended cleaning agent or 
equivalent. Ensure that adequate ventilation is 
provided when volatile degreasing agents are being 
used. Do not use degreasing equipment for 
components containing items which could be 
damaged by the use of this process.

When washing under bonnet, never direct water onto 
ECM, as water ingress may occur resulting in 
damage to electrical components inside.

General Inspection
All components should be inspected for wear or 
damage before being reassembled.

l

Never inspect a component for wear or 
dimensional check unless it is  absolutely clean; 
a slight smear of grease can conceal an 
incipient failure.

l

When a component is to be checked 
dimensionally against recommended  values, 
use the appropriate measuring equipment 
(surface plates, micrometers,  dial gauges etc.). 
Ensure the measuring equipment is calibrated 
and in good  serviceable condition.

l

Reject a component if its dimensions are 
outside the specified tolerances, or if it appears 
to be damaged.

l

A part may be refitted if its critical dimension is 
exactly to its tolerance limit and it appears to be 
in satisfactory condition.

l

Use 'Plastigauge' 12 Type PG-1 for checking 
bearing surface clearances.
