Locking Devices
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking
washers,
do
not re-use locking tabs.
Fitting a split pin
Always fit new split-pins of the correct size for the hole
in
the bolt or stud.
Do
not slacken back castle nuts
when fitting split pin, except
in
those recommended
cases when this forms part of
an
adjustment.
Always fit new roll pins of
an
interference
fit
in
the
hole.
Circlips, retaining rings
Replace any circlips and retaining rings that are
removed. Removal weakens and deforms circlips
causing looseness
in
the circlip groove. When
installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to
compress or expand them only enough to install
them.
Always use the correct replacement circlip
as
recommended
in
the Triumph parts catalogue.
Self locking nuts
Self-locking nuts can
be
re-used, providing resistance
can
be
felt when the locking portion passes over the
thread of the bolt or stud.
DO
NOT re-use self-locking nuts
in
critical locations,
e.g. suspension components. Always use the correct
replacement self-locking
nut.
Encapsulated bolt
An
encapsulated bolt
can
be
identified by a coloured
section of thread which is treated with a locking agent.
Unless a specified repair procedure states otherwise,
encapsulated bolts cannot
be
reused and MUST
be
replaced if disturbed or removed.
Failure to replace
an
encapsulated bolt could lead to
a dangerous riding condition. Always replace
encapsulated bolts.
Oil and grease seals
Replace any oil or grease seals that are removed.
Removal will cause damage to
an
oil
seal which, if
re-
used, would cause an oil leak.
Ensure the surface
on
which the new seal
is
to run is
free of burrs or scratches. Renew the component
if
General Information
the original sealing surface cannot
be
completely
restored.
Protect the seal from any surface which could cause
damage over which it has to pass when being fitted.
Use a protective sleeve or tape to cover the relevant
surface and avoid touching the sealing
lip.
Lubricate the sealing lips with a recommended
lubricant. This will help to prevent damage
in
initial
use. On dual lipped seals, smear the area between
the lips with appropriate grease.
When pressing
in
a seal which has manufacturer's
marks, press
in
with the marks facing out.
Seals must
be
pressed into place using a suitable
driver. Use of improper tools will damage the seal.
Press
A part installed using a press or driver, such as a
wheel bearing, should first
be
coated with oil or
grease
on
its outer or inner circumference so that it
will locate smoothly.
Ball bearing
When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which
is
an
interference fit should
be
pushed
by
a suitable
driver. This prevents severe stress or damage to the
load carrying components. Press a ball bearing until it
touches the shoulder
in
the bore or
on
the shaft.
Press or drift seals to the depth of its housing, with the
sealing lip facing the lubricant to
be
retained if the
housing
is
shouldered, or flush with the face of the
housing where no shoulder
is
provided.
