IMPORTANT: Risk of damage!
Due to the technical requirements, the special tool used, sleeve G,* is relatively thin-walled. To ensure that the load limit of the tensioning sleeve is not exceeded when drawing in the output shaft, it is essential  to use adapter 81 64 2 318 661  in combination with a torque wrench.

Fit adapter with torque wrench to hydraulic unit (see graphic).

Set torque wrench to 20 Nm.

Draw in output shaft with hydraulic tool until the torque wrench is activated.
