Remove corrosion
and apply only a very thin coating of grease G 000 100 to the
splines. Then move clutch plate to and for on input shaft until
hub moves freely on
shaft. Excess grease
must be removed.
◆ Pressure plates are
protected against
corrosion and
greased. Only the
contact surface may be cleaned, otherwise the service life of the
clutch will be
considerably
reduced.
◆ Tighten securing
