-- Clean the crankshaft flange, until all of the adhesive residue is completely removed.

• Do not damage the shaft seal when cleaning the flange.
• Remove any loosened adhesive residue with a vacuum cleaner, and do not use compressed air under any circumstances.

-- Remove adhesive residue from one of the old drive plate bolts -2- with the wire brush, and remove oil residue with brake cleaner.

-- Keep inserting and removing the cleaned bolt in the thread on the crankshaft -1- until no more adhesive residue is extracted.

• Do not insert the bolt too far, so that it does not damage the components behind.

-- When adhesive residue is no longer extracted, repeat the procedure on the other crankshaft threads.

• Lastly, remove any loosened adhesive residue with a vacuum cleaner, and do not use compressed air under any circumstances.

-- Clean the crankshaft flange with a cloth.
