GENERAL HINTS
Neatness and cleanliness

A neat and tidy workshop is essential for the proper ser-

vicing of vehicles. Some parts of the car need to be treat-

ed with special care and effectively protected against dirt
and contamination while work is in progress. For the me-
canic who may be new to the job should the following
points may be of help:

1. Protect fenders and other paintwork with suitable cov-
erings.

2. Lay protective coverings over the seats and upholstery
to save them from spots of oil and dirt.

3. Clean the insides of fenders and the space round the
rear axle thoroughly before starting to work on wheel
hubs and axles. This makes the job easier and prevents
grit and dirt from getting into bearings and other sus-
ceptible parts.

4. Before unscrewing spark plugs, clean the recess round
the plug thoroughly.

5. Every job must have its proper place. It is bad practice,
for example, to disassemble an engine or transmission
on a bench which is also used for filing, etc. or where
filing is done in the immediate neighbourhood.

Jacking and blocking up

The car has a rigid self-supporting body and this lacks
the natural application points for a jack that a girder
chassis provides. There are however two special engage-
ment recesses on each side designed to fit the jack sup-
plied with the car's tool kit; these are intended for use
during wheel changing, etc. The engine compartment
floor is also reinforced immediately under the cross mem-
ber that supports the engine to provide an application
point for the workshop jack. A similar reinforced lifting
point is provided underneath the floor at the back behind
the fuel tank. As most workshop jacks have a forked lift-
ing head, it is advisable to lay a wooden block of suitable
size across the fork to avoid damaging the floor of the car.
For some jobs it is necessary to raise the front or rear end
of the car. In such cases the jack engagement recesses un-
der the sills should be utilized.

Thread system and wrench sizes

width of UNC screw heads and nuts, measured across
the flats in inches, corresponds to the designation of the
wrench that fits in each case. In a few cases the UNIFIED

INE (UNF) system is used.
Exceptions to the standard thread system are found in

some components supplied by subcontractors, e.g. Bosch
and new constructions introduced as from model 1972,
where thesmetrical thread system is used. p

SPECIAL TOOLS

General

The 7-figure number quoted in the following list of spe-
cial tools is the part number. The number which is also
marked on the tools only includes the first six figures.

The special tools in the list are classified as follows:

Tools for engine, transmission and chassis work

Class AO—1 = Tools used very frequently in service

work (e.g. adjustment of timing)

AO-—2 = Tools used frequently in maintenance
work (e.g. replacement of brake pads)

Al = Tools necessary for simple repairs (e.g.
replacing the clutch or valves)

A2 = Tools necessary for qualified repairs
(e.g. reconditioning the gear box)

A3 = Tools which are mainly recommended

for reasons of operational efficiency

Tools for body work

Class B1 = Tools necessary for simple body work
(e.g. replacement of front fenders)
B2 = Tools necessary for qualified body work
(e.g. alignment work)
B3 = Tools which are mainly recommended

for reasons of operational efficiency

Tool racks

It is most important that special tools are kept in a suit-
able place, where they will be readily accessible and
easily found.
