Removing and Fitting of Hydraulic Locking Elements

Camshaft couplings (Fig. ’A’) must be removed according to the instructions in group 4203–4. Already fitted cou-
pling flanges with sleeves (Fig. ’B’) as well as actuator and fuel cams (Fig. ’C’ and ’D’) have to be fitted, aligned (set)
as well as removed with hydraulic tool (see group 4203–3, 4203–4).
Coupling flanges without sleeves are shrink fitted. For fitting, aligning and removal, see group 4203–4/A2.
