		 Dial gage	*001589532100
5	Check markings on the crankshaft bearing caps (1) and crankshaft fitted bearing cap (2) and, if necessary, mark the installation location	 The crankshaft bearing caps (1) and the crankshaft fitted bearing cap (2) are marked with identification numbers (A) and installed in ascending order starting opposite the output side.
6	Loosen the screws (3) in succession from the crankshaft bearing caps (1) and the crankshaft fitted bearing cap (2) and reapply by hand immediately	Loosening procedure	AR03.20-W-4351-10H
		Tightening specification	AR03.20-W-4351-06H
		 The screw/bolts (3) must not be loosened. The crankshaft will otherwise lower too much thus damaging the radial shaft sealing rings and cassette-type sealing ring.
		 To do this follow loosening procedure. The heads of the screws (3) must lie on the crankshaft bearing caps (1) and crankshaft fitted bearing cap (2).
		 Installation: Observe tightening specification.
