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).
