Repair and replacement procedures
Hardware and threaded parts -
- Install helical thread inserts when inside threads in castings are stripped, damaged, or not able to withstand desired torque.
- Replace bolts, nuts, studs, washers, spacers, and small common hardware if missing or damaged in any way. Repair minor thread damage by cleaning out the threads using a tap or die.
- Replace all damaged or missing lubrication fittings.
- Use teflon tape on all pipe fitting threads.
