CAUTION: Cover up the drive belts and pulleys using a clean shop cloth before sanding or filing to prevent metal filings from falling onto them.If no pressure marks or traces of rubbing are found on the hose as described, check the gap at the closest point (A) between the cast boss of the oil filter housing and the upper coolant hose.There must Aor be a gap (A) of at least 1/4 inch (7 mm) when the engine coolant is cold.If gap (A) is 1/4 inch (7 mm) or greater, no further repairs are necessary.If gap (A) is less than 1/4 inch (7 mm), the upper coolant hose must be replaced with the new modified version.Parts InformationUpper Coolant Hose BMW Part Number 11 531 433 340We replaced the upper radiator hose with the new type, cleaned the engine compartment, filled the Tool cooling system and pressure tested it to make sure there were no other leaks. Luckily, the engine hadn''t overheated. Most of the steam was created from the coolant leaking on the exhaust manifold. The owner was fairly good-natured about his near catastrophe. Relieved, standing at the counter while paying his bill, he said lightheartedly, "You know, my pants and shirt were badly wrinkled when I left the house this morning. I think this was the strangest way I''ve ever had my clothes pressed." I had to agree. ills

Mark/B-LOC: Using keyless locking devices in place of keys, splines, and shrink or press fits typically means savings in other areas of machine design, such as smaller shafts and bearings and simplified machining. PT components can be positioned anywhere along a shaft without Accessories regard to keyway placement or access for mounting or removal tools. Keyless locking devices require only torque wrench access for installation and adequate hub strength of mounted components.Carl/Ringfeder: Aor The main reasons to use locking devices are to eliminate backlash in a connection, eliminate troublesome assembly or disassembly later on, and to have some adjustment to a connection during the lifetime of the component. Traditional shrink fit and press fit methods of attaching components to shafts don''t allow for easy adjustment or removal. Some connections will never be loosened; so attaching them with a locking device only makes sense when using it facilitates assembly. Employing keyless locking devices in the design means smaller shaft sizes because Tool the stress concentration factors of keyways is eliminated. Accessories Smaller shaft sizes, in turn, Aor mean smaller bearings and other mating components can be employed.
