4. Use J 41187 in order to tighten the inboard seal cover clamp (1). See Special Tools.
IMPORTANT: Tighten the seal cover clamp (1) as tight as possible without
deforming the retaining clip. Clamps that are not tight
enough allow the cover to slide upon the joint. This causes
shortened service life.
