Specify the **standard** torque specifications for the flywheel bolts. keyboard_arrow_down

80 Nm is the torque specification for the new patch bolts used when refitting the flywheel and crankshaft assembly.

What is the **necessary** safety precautions when working with the brake system? keyboard_arrow_down

Do not use DOT 4 brake fluid; use only DOT 5 silicone fluid. Ensure that the brake fluid is not exposed to the atmosphere for more than a brief period, or any fluid suspected of being wet, dirty or contaminated. Overfill prevention is critical: if the brake fluid reservoir is overfilled, it will result in the displacement of fluid from the hydraulic circuit back into the reservoir.
