Unscrew screws -1...6-. Press the crankshaft cover from the gearbox side.
Installation
Remove sealant residue from the sealing surfaces on the cylinder block and on the oil pan using a chemical sealant remover. Degrease the mating surfaces. Cut off the tip of the sealant tube at the front mark (hole diameter about 2mm). Apply silicone sealant "arrow", as shown in the figure, to the clean mating surfaces of the crankshaft cover on the gearbox side. Thickness of the sealant strip: 2...3 mm.
Put the guide sleeve "T20097" on the crankshaft main journal. Put the crankshaft cover through the guide sleeve "T20097" on the crankshaft main journal.
Note: The gearbox side crankshaft cover must be installed within 5 minutes of applying the silicone sealant. The sealant bead must not be wider than specified, otherwise excess sealant will enter the oil pan and clog the mesh filter in the oil pickup tube.
Install the crankshaft cover on the gearbox side immediately and tighten the screws in the specified sequence as follows. Tighten the screws in 2 stages in the specified sequence.
Note: Only 6 screws are screwed in, 2 threaded holes remain free.
