11 37 020 Removing and installing/replacing servomotor for eccentric shaft (N55 Hybrid)

Special tools required: 

WARNING: Compliance with the following points is mandatory before beginning work:
WARNING: The preloading on the throttle return springs increases as the rotation on the worm gear increases. Danger of injury! 
The eccentric shaft may only be twisted on the mounting flats for protection.
Risk of damage to the eccentric shaft gearing and to the servomotor worm drive.
The eccentric shaft must not spring back to the minimum stroke stop. Risk of damage! 

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

WARNING: Heed stop installation instructions.

The eccentric shaft on the mounting flats (2) must only be turned with an open-end spanner (1) for support.

The eccentric shaft has mounting flats on both sides;  if the engine is installed, the front mounting flat must be used.

Heed the following work instructions.

After the engine stops, the eccentric shaft is in the maximum stroke position.

If the actuator drive is defective, the eccentric shaft is located in an undetermined position.

Release bolt (1) on the oil spray nozzle.

Tightening torque: 11 37 4AZ .

Unclip oil spray nozzle (2) from the bracket on the actuator drive (3) in direction of arrow.

If the eccentric shaft is not on maximum stroke, the eccentric shaft must be adjusted to maximum stroke.

IMPORTANT: Fix eccentric shaft with an open-end spanner (kickback danger)

Adjust eccentric shaft only on the hexagon socket of the actuator drive (preload).

Remove minimum stroke stop (1).
