General instructions

Practical advice
Prior to any work:
– Clean the major unit and its surrounds (See Driving Servicing Handbook, "Vehicle washing").
– Ensure the batteries are disconnected.
– Mark the pipes and wiring harnesses, if necessary.
– Protect all ports to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
– Before disconnecting an air pipe, drop the circuit pressure.
– If liquid is splashed onto the bodywork, clean quickly with a cleaning product recommended by
RENAULT TRUCKS.

Preparation prior to assembly:

Carefully clean and check all the parts.
Do not unpack a new bearing until you are ready to install it. Do not clean off the protective grease on new
bearings.
Old seals and lock-plates must be discarded and new ones fitted.
Never force fit parts with copper or brass punches or drifts. Always use a specially adapted driver to prevent
ingress of metal particles into the casings and bearings. Always oil parts prior to force fitting.
Always apply grease on the inside of seal ring lips.
Shrink fitted parts are to be heated with a hot air blower or in an oven. etc. Flame heating is strictly forbidden.

When using a torque multiplier, calibrate the torque wrench/multiplier unit at the required torque loading.

Fastening, locking, sealing and adhesive products:

Prior to assembly, carefully clean the product application surfaces of the parts. Old product residue is to
be removed. Threaded portions are to be brushed, tapped and, if necessary, cleaned with a suitable product.
Using the product:
Always adapt the recommended product while observing the utilization conditions appearing on the pack:
– Surface finish,
– Working temperature,
– Reaction, drying, etc. time,
– Shelf life.
Stick to the assembly method so as to guarantee the quality of the repair.

Tightening torques

Definitions
Tightening torques
There are several types of tightening:
– Tightening to torque (in Nm)
– Tightening to angle (in °)
– Tightening to torque-angle (in Nm + °)
Torques given in Nm are nominal torques (average value calculated on the basis of the minimum torque and the
maximum torque).
The tightening precision class defines the tolerance of this torque in percent as a function of the nominal torque
applied.
For standard threaded hardware, use the following table.
For other torques, see the following page(s).

"FIH" type (Nylstop) locknuts must be replaced whenever removed. "DRH" type (oval) locknuts can be re-
used. If locknuts (DRH, FIH or other) are re-used, make absolutely certain that the screw-thread of the bolt
protrudes least two threads above the top edge of the nut.

Standard nut and bolt tightening torques table

The tightening torque values given in the table are based on standard 01.50.4002 and apply to new nuts and bolts
fitted dry and re-used nuts and bolts with oil applied to the screw-threads. If any nuts and bolts are replaced, it is
absolutely essential to use nuts and bolts recommended by the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts Department
(coefficient of friction in compliance with standard 01.50.4002).

Generalities
RENAULT TRUCKS divides tools into three categories:

– General-purpose tools: proprietary tools

• 50 00 26 .... reference number (possibility of purchasing through the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts
department).
• 4-figure reference number (tools classified by RENAULT TRUCKS but available from the supplier).

– Special tools: specifically created tools distributed by the RENAULT TRUCKS Spare Parts Department
• To be ordered according to the reference numbers appearing in the list of tools on the following pages.

– Locally manufactured tools:

• 4-figure reference number (represented by a drawing): tools that are simple to make without need for
special qualification.

Three levels (or echelons) determine their assignment:

– Level 1: tools for servicing, maintenance and minor tasks

– Level 2: tools for major repairs

– Level 3: tools for refurbishment

Proprietary tools mentioned in this manual do not appear in the tools list.
These tools are identified in the standard tools manual (MO) by a 4-figure number.
