Details protecting threaded connections from loosening (Range Rover 3)

General remarks

Always replace the locking devices with absolutely identical ones.

Retractable tab washers

Always replace the flap washers with new ones when reassembling. Do not reuse these lock washers.

Lock nuts

Always use two wrenches when loosening or tightening lock nuts, brake nuts and fuel pipes.

Cylindrical pins

When replacing the pin, the new pin must be matched to the diameter of the mating hole in the part.

Retaining rings

When installing new circlips, match them to the groove size.

Keys and keyways

Clean the edges of the keyway from burrs with a file with a fine notch. Thoroughly clean the keyway before reinstalling the key.

Clean and inspect the key. The key is suitable for reinstallation only if it is indistinguishable from a new one. Any defects indicate the beginning of wear.

Lock pins

When installing new cotter pins, select them according to the size of the hole in the bolt or stud.
