GI FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES
I. Inspection of parts
When removed, each part should be carefully inspected for
malfunctioning, deformation, damage, and other problems.
2. Arrangement of parts
All disassembled parts should be carefully
arranged for re-
assembly.
Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts to be
replaced from those that will be reused.
3. Cteaning parts for reuse
All parts to be reused should be carefully and thoroughly
cleaned in the appropriate method.

REASSEMBtY
Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments,
must be
strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts.
Refer to STANDARD BOLT AND NUT TIGHTENING TORQUE
in Section TD for tightening torques not mentioned in the main
text.
tf removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones:
1. Oil seals
2, Gaskets
3. O-r.ings
4. Lock washers
.
5. Cotter pins
6. Nylon nuts
Depending on location:
1. Sealant should be applied to gaskets.
2. Oil should be applied
to the moving components of parts.
3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the prescribed
locations (such as oil seals) before reassembty.
