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.
