All chapters of the manual contain information on adjustment, care, maintenance, removal and installation of equipment, as well as a description of the processes for performing repairs.
We consider it necessary to mention two basic rules of mechanics.
First rule in all cases where reference is made to the left side of the vehicle, the driver's side of the vehicle is meant. Accordingly, the right side is the passenger's side.
Second rule all nuts and bolts are unscrewed by turning counterclockwise and wrapped clockwise.
Three mistakes are usually made in mechanical work.
First error: violation of the order of assembly, disassembly or adjustment. Violation of the order of disassembly of any part or its assembly, improper performance of work lead not only to loss of time, but also to breakdowns. All processes must be performed in the order specified in the instructions. Before disassembling a very complex assembly (e.g. carburetor) you may need to draw a diagram of the assembly to make sure you put all the pieces back in their proper places. When carrying out adjustment work (especially, when adjusting and adjusting work, it is necessary to strictly observe the specified order of work. Often one adjustment operation affects another, and therefore it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory result until each adjustment is made in such a way that it does not change under the influence of another adjustment operation.
Second error: re-tightening (or undertightening) nuts and bolts. Overtightening nuts and bolts will usually cause breakage, and undertightening can cause fastener vibration and breakage, especially of aluminum parts. The torque data must be observed and a complete torque wrench must be used. If no torque is specified, remember that using the right tool will save you from over-tightening the fastener. The thread pitch is often so small that the force you apply to the wrench multiplies the force actually applied to the part you are screwing. When installing spark plugs, especially in cases where the spark plugs are screwed into an aluminum cylinder head, it should be remembered that too little torque will not be able to firmly press the gasket, and this will cause leakage of combustion gases and, consequently, overheating of the spark plug and engine parts. Too much torque can damage the threads and deform the spark plug, causing the electrode spark gap to change. Based on the above, it is recommended to purchase a torque wrench.
Third error: thread twisting. Thread torsion occurs when a part, such as a bolt, is screwed into a nut or casting at the wrong angle, or if excessive force is applied to the part causing thread damage. Thread twisting most often occurs in places that are difficult to access. In such cases, it is recommended to clean and lubricate the fasteners and start screwing in the part that is installed straight, guiding it with your fingers. If you encounter resistance, turn the part inside out and try to set it at a different angle so that it fits into its socket and can be turned without much effort. Do not install the key on the part before it is screwed in a few turns by hand. If you feel resistance and the part does not fully fit into its seat, do not apply further effort! Unscrew the part, check its cleanliness and correct screwing.
Never rush and be patient; after gaining some experience, repairing your car will become a pleasant hobby for you.
