Installation Tip:
✅ Before Installation:
- Inspect the groove or bore where the retainer sits — remove burrs, corrosion, or debris using a fine file or honing tool.
- Verify groove dimensions match OEM specs; worn grooves can cause retainer failure.
✅ During Assembly:
- Use proper internal/external snap ring pliers — never install by hand or with screwdrivers.
- Ensure the retainer is fully seated into the groove and makes 360° contact. Gently rotate to confirm no gaps.
- Do not over-expand — this weakens the metal and reduces clamping force.
✅ After Installation:
- Manually rotate the shaft to check for binding or wobble.
- Confirm axial play is within ZF tolerance (typically 0.05–0.15 mm).
