General Information
Never lubricate a thread unless instructed to do so.
When a thread of a fixing is lubricated, the thread
friction is reduced.
When the fixing is tightened,
reduced friction will cause overtightening and possible
fixing failure.
A fixing which fails in service could cause component
. detachment leading to loss of control and an accident.
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.

correct
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.

Encapsulated Bolts
An encapsulated bolt can be identified by a coloured
section of thread which is treated with a locking agent.
Unless a specifi�d repair procedure states otherwise,
encapsulated bolts cannot be reused and M UST be
replaced if disturbed or removed.
Failure to replace an encapsulated bolt could lead to a

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 the original

Lubricate the sealing lips with a recommended lubricant.

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
outer or inner circumference so that it will locate smoothly.
Ball Bearings
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
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 shouldere
