Keep thes e part ss eparate.To make s ure that t he correct replacement part has been obt ained, do not dis card a part due for renewal unt il aftercomparing i t wit h t he new part.
Cleaning Components
Always us e cleaning agents whi ch are s uit able for the work being undert aken and the component s being cleaned. NEVERus e gasol ine (pet rol ) as a cleaning agent (degreas er). Always make s ure that the component bei ng cleaned is compati blewit h t he cleaning agent.
Always follow the manufact urer's i ns t ructi ons regarding the us e of cleaning agents and make sure t hat t he envi ronment inwhich t he work is being undert aken is s uit able. See Healt h and Safet y Precaut ions for furt her informati on regardi ngcleaning.
General Inspection of Components
All component s s houl d be i ns pect ed for wear or damage before reas s embl ing.
Always make s ure that component t o be i ns pected i s clean and free from oil or greas e.W hen a component is t o be checked di mensi onal ly agains t desi gn s pecified values , use the appropriat e meas uringequi pment i.e. micromet ers , verniers, s urface plates , dial t es t i ndi cat ors (DTI).Always make s ure that all meas uri ng equi pment is correct ly cali brat ed before us e.Reject a component which i s not wit hin specified values /l imi ts or i f it appears t o be damaged.A component may be rei ns t alled if dimens ions obt ai ned during checki ng are at t he maximum t olerance l imi t and itis in an undamaged condi ti on.Bearing journal clearances should be checked where neces s ary us ing Pl ast igauge.

Split pins
Never at tempt t o s t raight en and reus e a s pli t pin, always make s ure that repl acement pins are of the correct si ze for t hehole i n which t hey are to be ins tal led.
Screw Threads
Damaged nuts , bolt s and s crews mus t always be dis carded. Att empti ng to recut or repai r damaged threads wi th at ap or di e i mpai rs the s t rength and fi t of t he t hreads and is not recommended.
• NOTE: Duri ng cert ai n repai r operat ions , it may be neces sary t o remove t races of t hread locking agent s us ing a tap.W here thi s is neces sary, t he i ns t ructi on to do s o wi ll appear in the relevant operation and it i s ess enti al that a t ap of thecorrect s ize and t hread i s used.
Some bolt s are coat ed wit h a thread locki ng agent and unles s s tat ed otherwis e, they mus t not be reus ed. Newbolt s havi ng the same part number as the original mus t always be i nst all ed. W hen nuts or bolt s are to bedis carded, t he repai r operat ion and relevant torque chart will i ncl ude an ins truct ion to that effect . Do not usepropri etary thread locki ng agent s as t hey may not meet the specificati on required. See al so Encapsul at ed('Patched') Bol ts and Screws.Always make s ure that repl acement nuts and bol ts are at leas t equal i n s trengt h t o thos e t hat they are repl acing.Cast ell ated nut s mus t not be loosened t o accept a s pli t pin except in recommended cas es when thi s forms part ofan adjus tment .Do not all ow oil or greas e t o enter bli nd holes , the hydrauli c acti on res ult ing from ti ght ening t he bolt or s tud cans plit t he housi ng and als o gi ve a fal s e torque reading.Always t ighten a nut, bolt or s crew to t he s peci fi ed torque fi gure, damaged or corroded threads can give a fals et orque reading.Nut and bolt loos ening and t ightening sequences , where gi ven, mus t ALW AY S be foll owed.

W here it i s s tat ed t hat bolt s and s crews may be reus ed, t he fol lowi ng procedures must be carri ed out:
Check t hat threads are undamaged.Remove all t races of locki ng agent from the threads .
CAUTION: DO NOT us e a wi re brus h; take care t hat threads are not damaged.
Make s ure t hat threads are clean and free from oil or greas e.Apply t he s pecified locki ng agent t o t he bolt t hreads .
Bolt and Nut Identification
An ISO met ri c bolt or s crew made of s t eel and l arger than 6 mm in di ameter can be identi fi ed by eit her of t he s ymbols ISOM or M emboss ed or i ndent ed on top of t he bolt head.
In addi ti on t o marks i dent ifying t he manufacturer, t he top of t he bolt head is als o marked wit h s ymbol s indi cat ing t hes trengt h grade e.g. 8.8, 10.9, 12.9, 14.9. Alt ernati vel y, some bol ts and screws have t he M and s trengt h grade s ymbols tamped on the flat s of the hexagon.
Encapsulated ('Patched') bolts and screws

Encaps ulated ('pat ched') bolt s and s crews have a t hread l ocking agent appl ied t o t he t hreads during manufact ure. Mos tt hread locking agent s are col ored, the band of color extending for 360 degrees around the t hread. Some l ocking agentshowever, are neutral in color and may not be s o eas il y identi fi ed apart from a s li ght ly darker area of thread where t helocking agent has been appli ed. The l ocking agent is releas ed and acti vat ed by t he ti ght ening proces s and is thenchemical ly cured to provide t he locking acti on.
Self-locking bolts and screws
Unles s s tat ed in a s peci fic repair procedure, sel f-locki ng bolt s and s crews i.e. nylon patched or tril obul ar t hread can bereus ed provided t hat res is t ance i s fel t when the locki ng port ion enters t he femal e thread.
Nylon pat ched bolt s and s crews have a l ocking agent eit her appli ed t o, or i ns erted in t he threaded porti on. They areidenti fi ed by t he pres ence of a colored s ect ion of t hread extending approximat ely 180 degrees around the t hread or by acol ored pl ug ins ert ed int o t he bol t.
Tri lobular bolt s have a s pecial t hread form which creates a s light i nt erference wit h t he t hread of the hol e or nut i nto whichit i s s crewed.
CAUTION: Do Not reuse sel f-locki ng fas t eners in crit ical locat ions e.g. drive pl at es/flywheel or engine beari ngs . Donot ins tal l non s elf-locki ng fas teners where a sel f-locki ng fas t ener i s s pecified.
Tri lobular bolt s s hould not be used as a s ubs t it ut e for pat ched bol ts .
Nut identification
A nut wi th an ISO metric t hread i s marked on one face or one of the hexagonal fl ats wit h t he st rengt h grade s ymbol 8, 12,14. Some nuts wi th the st rength grade 4, 5 or 6 are als o marked and s ome have the metric s ymbol M on t he hexagonal fl atoppos it e t he s trengt h grade marking.

A clock face sys tem is somet imes us ed as an al ternat ive method of indi cat ing t he s trengt h grade. The external chamfers ora face of t he nut is marked i n a pos it ion relati ve to the appropriat e hour mark on a cl ock face to indicate the s t rengthgrade.
A dot i s used to l ocat e t he 12 o'clock posi ti on and a das h t o indi cat e t he st rengt h grade. If t he grade i s above 12, t wodots i dent ify t he 12 o'clock posi ti on.
W hen t ight eni ng a s lot ted or cas tell ated nut , never loos en it t o i nsert a s pli t pi n except where s pecified as part of anadjus tment procedure. If di fficult y is experi enced i n correct ly pos it ioning t he s lot, alt ernati ve washers or nut s s houl d bes elect ed.
W here a nut is ti ght ened to adjust or mai ntain bearing pre-l oad, t he ti ght ening procedure must be adhered to.
Self-locking nuts
Unles s s tat ed otherwis e, sel f-locki ng nuts once removed must be di s carded and new nut s of t he s ame t ype and st rengthgrade i nst all ed.
