Component Identification:

The tooth flanks (2a, 2b) are pressed against one another under spring tension. Ensure that the tooth backlash compensation is arrested before installing the camshaft adjuster.

1 Insert retaining bolt (01b) for tensioning tool (01) in to camshaft adjuster (2).

The tensioning tool (01) should make even contact with the camshaft adjuster (2).

2 Screw in bolt (01s) as far as possible.

This causes the quadrant (01z) to arrest the tooth flanks (2a, 2b) on the camshaft adjuster (2) in relation to one another.
