2-22. GENERAL DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS .
a.
Cleanliness. Work area must be as clean as possible to prevent contamination of components. Hydraulic
components, engines, transmissions, and axles require extremely clean work area when disassembled.
b.
Locking Parts. Replace all lockwire, lock washers, cotter pins, and lock nuts at time of disassembly. Self-
locking fasteners that are loosened or removed must be replaced.
c.
Expendable Parts. All gaskets, packings, and seals removed during repair must be discarded and replaced
with new parts.
d.
Removing Seals. Be sure all traces of oil, gaskets, and sealants are removed from components. When
possible, use wood or plastic probes and scrapers to prevent damage to machined surfaces.
CAUTION
Do not use tape to close off fuel or oil openings. Sticky surface of tape can mix with fuel and oil
and cause engine malfunctions.
e.
Parts Protection. To keep dust, moisture, and other objects out of internal parts of the system or
components, cap or tape over tubes, hoses, air lines, fittings, and component openings as soon as part is removed.
Wrap all removed parts in clean paper or dip parts in preservation oil.
