Nuts, bolts  
     
Always replace self-locking nuts and bolts.
     Loosen nuts or bolts, opposite to tightening 
sequence. 
     Tighten and loosen bolts and nuts for securing 
covers and housings in a diagonal sequence. 
     Especially delicate parts, such as clutch 
pressure plates, must not be canted. Loosen 
and tighten bolts and nuts in stages in a 
diagonal sequence. 
     The tightening torques stated apply to non-oiled 
nuts and bolts. 
     The threads of bolts which are secured by a 
locking compound should be cleaned using a 
wire brush. Then apply AMV 185 101 A1 when 
installing.

Bearings  
     
Install needle bearings with the lettering on the 
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing the 
drift or other installation tool. 
     Grease needle bearing for the input shaft in the 
crankshaft. 
     Lubricate all bearings in transmission with gear 
oil before installing. 
     Always replace tapered roller bearings on one 
shaft together and use new bearings from the 
same manufacturer. 
     Heat tapered roller bearing inner races to 
approx. 100 C (212 F) before installing. Press 
in until stop is reached so there is no axial play. 
     
Do not interchange inner and outer bearing 
races with those from other bearings of the 
same size. 
     The tapered roller bearings for the output shaft 
and the differential in the transmission are low-
friction bearings. Do not additionally oil new 
tapered roller bearings when measuring friction 
torque. The bearings are pre-treated at the
