and washer to pull the flange finally

home). Place the thrust washer over the

driveshaft and secure using the

41mmnyloc nut (LH plain insert, RH green

insert) noting that the LH nyloc nut has a

LH thread. These can initially be

tightened to 81 Nm. These nuts must be

finally torqued to 270 Nm. This is most

easily achieved once the brakes have

been bled and the foot brake is applied.

Check that there is clearance between the

outboard rubber boot on the driveshaft

and the lower damper mounting bolt.

Check that the outboard driveshaft CV

joints do not foul the inner edges of the De

Dion ears. If contact occurs, slacken the

bolts holding the hub carrier to the ear and

adjust until there is sufficient clearance.

Re-tighten to the specified torque figures.

The brake callipers are handed and must

be fitted with the handbrake cable

abutments towards the front of the car. Fit

the correct brake pads fully into the

callipers ensuring that the range of

movement of the pads is not hindered by

the calliper body. Slide the calliper over

the brake disc whilst separating the brake

pads. Secure using bolt (fastener pack

30Z1067A Item 4) with spring washer (18)

and plain washer (16). Pass through the

De Dion ear, through the spacer (Fig 132

item 2) and into the calliper. Tighten fixing

bolts to 47 Nm. Finally attach and tighten

the brake pipes.

9.12) Anti-roll bar connection and

adjustment

Shorten the droplinks as much as possible

ensuring the threaded ends face in the

same direction. Tighten locknuts.

Remove the nuts from the ends and

discard, apply Loctite to the threaded arm

of the droplink and screw into the

extension piece using washer (15), refer

to Fig 133. Pass the threaded portion of

the lower droplink through the anti-roll bar

and secure with nyloc nut (fastener

pack 30R011A Item 9).
