Clean cylinder contact surface.
2
Insert the two compression rings one after the other into the unworn area of the cylinder
wall and measure end clearance with
feeler gauge; replace piston rings, if necessary.
The gap clearance of the oil scraper ring cannot be checked because of its three-part
design. If the compression rings are replaced, the oil scraper ring must also be replaced.

Remove conrod bearing cap (5)
For this step, mark conrod (4) and
connecting rod bearing cap (5) on one side
relative to each other.
7
Remove conrod (4) together with pistons (3)
by lifting up and out
If pistons have been used (3), the arrows
indicating the direction of the travel and the
markings on the pistons may no longer be
visible due to carbon deposits. For this
reason, remove the carbon deposits from the
pistons. If the arrows indicating direction of
travel on the pistons are no longer
recognizable, these must be re-marked.

Remove circlip (1) of piston pin (2)
Do not damage piston (3). Place a clean
cloth underneath.

Needle bushing
The plain bearing in the input shaft was
replaced by an anti-friction bearing (needle
bushing).
As a result, the inside diameter of the needle
bushing in the input shaft and the outside
diameter of the journal at the output shaft
have also changed.
When repairing a vehicle, therefore, both
shafts must be replaced.
