DISASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
– Do not loosen and/or tighten the screws and nuts using
pliers or other tools: instead, always use the proper
spanner.
– Before disconnecting the joints (pipes, cables, etc.),
mark the positions on all of them and mark them with
different distinguishing signs.
Each piece must be marked clearly, in order not to
have problems during installation.
– Clean and wash carefully any disassembled parts with
low inflammability detergents.
– Keep the parts that are used in pairs together, since
they have adapted to each other following the normal
wear.
Some components must be used together or replaced
completely.
– Keep away from heat sources.
REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
a
CAUTION
Never use a seeger ring twice. When a seeger ring is
removed, it must be replaced with a new one.
When assembling a new seeger ring be careful not to
stretch its ends more than strictly necessary to put it
on the shaft.
After installing a seeger ring, make sure that it is
completely and firmly inserted in its seat.
Do not use compressed air to clean the bearings.
NOTE
The bearings must rotate freely, without halting
a/o noise otherwise they must be replaced.
– Use only original aprilia SPARE PARTS.
– Use the recommended lubricants.
– Whenever possible, lubricate the parts before reas-
sembly.
– When tightening screws and nuts, begin with those
having greater diameters or with inner ones, proceed-
ing diagonally.
Tighten screws or nuts in successive passages before
applying driving torque.
– Always replace lock nuts, seals, sealing rings, snap
rings, O-rings, split pins and screws, whenever the
thread appears damaged, with new ones.
– Before the assembly, clean all the connection surfaces,
the oil seal edges and the gaskets.
Apply a thin layer of lithium-based grease on the oil
seal edges.
Put back the oil seals and the bearings with the mark or
serial number facing towards the outside (visible side).
– When installing the bearings, lubricate them abundant-
ly.
– Make sure that each component has been reassem-
bled correctly.
– After a repair or periodic maintenance operation, carry
out the preliminary checks and test the vehicle in a pri-
vate area or, in any case, in a low-traffic area.
