Eriedor Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I've just disassembled my 2002 K Series 7 for a respray and I'm soon to embark on reassembly. What nuts and bolts have to (or should ideally should be) replaced with new? I know there's nyloc nuts in much of the suspension that need to be replaced with new, including rear hubnuts, and I believe flywheel bolts have to be changed? Any others? Also is it a good idea to put a bit of copper grease on bolts in the rear arches to prevent them seizing in the rivnut in future? Any others?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I always save my old (but reusable bolts) so when I have anything zinc coated I include the bucket of bolts. Most of the time I don't get the minimum job value at the platers, so the bolts are effectively free, and they come back like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriedor Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Thanks Jonathan, that bolt list and fastener pack list is super helpful. I have an assembly guide already thanks. I guess I should study that some more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
