Note: 
Tightening torque  1) Replace bolts  2) 90 corresponds to a quarter turn   Fig. 1  Removing and installing sensor wheelAlways replace sensor wheel -2- if securing bolts -1- have been 
loosened.. If the securing bolts are tightened a second time, the seats for the 
countersunk bolt heads in the sensor wheel will be distorted to such 
an extent that the bolt heads will come into direct contact with the 
crankshaft -3- (-arrows-) and the sensor wheel will only fit loosely 
under the bolts. The mounting holes are asymmetrically spaced, so it is only possible 
to install the sensor wheel in one position.
