NOTES The tooth flanks (1, 2) are held against each other by spring pressure and should not be skewed, otherwise the camshaft adjuster will be irreparably damaged

  1. Insert the drift (3, diameter 3mm) into the bore (4) of the cover plate and lock the tooth flanks (1, 2) with each other.

    IMPORTANT Push the drift (3) through to the end of tooth flank (2).

    To allow the drift (3) to be inserted more easily, align the tooth flanks with each other (in the direction of the arrows).
