WARNING

Do not scrape the joint faces of the aluminium, any damage caused to the joint face will result in a risk of leaks.

IMPORTANT

Wear leaktight gloves (Nitrile type) for this operation.

IMPORTANT

Wear goggles with side protectors for this operation.

• Clean the joint faces with SUPER CLEANER FOR JOINT FACES (see Vehicle: Parts and consumables for the repair) (04B, Consumables - Products) to dissolve any part of the seal still adhering.
