Good afternoon,
Start from the center out on the rocker shaft. installing is from the center out as well.
crack them loose one by one and then loosen one turn at a time until they are out. not doing this could result in breaking the rocker shaft in half?
you are helping a mechanic? he does not know this? that scares me if he supposed to be a mechanic.
Tighten the bearing caps to the specified torque in two or three increments as shown.
Tightening torque
Bearing cap bolt:
M 6 (38 mm): ............10 - 12 Nm (100 - 120 kg.cm, 7 - 9 ft. lbs.)
M 6 (50 mm): ............14 - 16 Nm (140 - 160 kg.cm, 10 - 12 ft. lbs.)
