Locking Devices; Fitting A Split Pin; Circlips, Retaining Rings; Self Locking Nuts - Triumph TIGER Service Manual

Lockig 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

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 the original
sealing surface cannot be completely restored.
• mty!!j3H
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
