Note!
This instruction is only valid for spindle

guides of the slide valve design.
Extreme care and accuracy should be

exercised when carrying out this opera-
tion.
Based on service experience it is recom-

mended to replace the complete spindle
guide after 8000 hours of operation.
1. Clean the outside of the spindle guide in pure

gas oil or kerosene. The individual parts of the
spindle guide are not interchangeable, there-
fore only one guide is to be disassembled at
a time.
Note!
MA909-6.2 111 02
The spindle guide, thrust piece and spin-

dle are matched parts and may not be re-
placed individually.
2. Place the spindle guide in a bench vice pro- 4.

vided with “soft” jaws, and use the brass
mandrel as shown to disassemble the spin-
dle guide.
3. Mount the pulling tool around the fuel noz-

zle on the spindle guide. Turn the nut to pull
the fuel nozzle off the spindle guide.
Note!
The pulling tool is not standard for all

engines, but may be delivered as an
optional extra.
4. If no pulling tool is available, the fuel nozzle

can be dismantled from the spindle guide
using two screwdrivers.
Place the screwdrivers opposite each other

in the small gap between the fuel nozzle
and the spindle guide and very carefully

force the fuel nozzle off the spindle guide.

5. 5. Clean all the parts of the spindle guide in

gas oil and wipe dry with a clean piece of
cloth.
Clean all parts again in kerosene or ‘Elec-

trocleaner’ and wipe dry with a clean piece
of cloth.
Place all the parts on a clean, lint-free cloth

and examine them through an 8-10 times
magnification magnifying glass and an in-
spection lamp.
During the examination, pay special atten-

tion to the seating surfaces and sliding sur-
faces of the parts.
6. Remove any deposits or very fine scratches

by placing the spindle, thrust piece or spin-
dle guide respectively in a lathe, as shown,
and polishing with a very fine conventional
polishing linen ‘grade 360’.
MA909-6.2 111 04
Use also a little oil for the polishing (a

coarser polishing linen must absolutely
not be used).
6.
Note!
The sliding surface of the cut-off slide

may only be polished VERY carefully.
The sliding surface must not be dam-
aged.
After polishing, clean the parts again and

re-check the seat on thrust piece/spindle,
the seat on slide valve/spindle, and the seat
on spindle/guide. Use an inspection lamp
and an 8-10 times enlargement magnifying
glass.
MA909-6.2 111 05
If the seats are not in order, i.e. if there are

pressing-in marks or similar on the seats,
the complete spindle guide must be dis-
carded.

bore of the fuel nozzle by means of the spe-
cial brass brush. Clean the spray holes, us-
ing gas oil and the special drills supplied.
Note!
During this operation be very careful not

to push the drill too far to avoid scratch-
ing the snug-fit surface on the inside of
the fuel nozzle.
Clean the fuel nozzle with kerosene and

wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Then test the spray holes with the test pin.

If the test pin is able to enter just one of the
holes, the fuel nozzle must be discarded.
This also applies to nozzles with oval holes

(can be ascertained with a magnifying
glass).
MN909-12.3 213 07
Check the fuel nozzle before mounting on

the spindle guide, the cut-off slide must be
able to move freely inside the nozzle.
Note!
It is recommended that the fuel nozzle is

changed whenever the spindle guide is
being overhauled.

9. 8. Lubricate the spindle and the thrust piece

with the cut-off slide with a little Molybde-
num Disulphide (MoS 2), see Procedure
913-11.
9. Assemble the thrust piece, the spindle and

the spindle guide and carefully knock the
parts together using a soft hammer.
10. Shake the spindle guide back and forth.

The spindle with the cut-off slide must be
able to slide freely back and forth inside the
spindle guide, with a ‘clicking’ sound.

If nozzle and spindle guide are provided

with scratch marks opposite the spring pin,

Note!
The mounting tools are not standard for

all engines but may be delivered as
optional extras.
If no mounting tools are available, the noz-

zle can be mounted on the spindle guide
using a short piece of pipe.
Place the pipe around the nozzle, so that

the lower end of the pipe rests on the ‘foot’
of the fuel nozzle. Then press the parts to-
gether the same way as when using the
mounting tools.
Check that the spindle inside the spindle

guide is able to move freely as in step 10.
12. If the spindle guide is not to be mounted in a

fuel valve immediately after the overhaul, cov-
er all openings of the spindle guide with plas-
tic to prevent dirt from entering the spindle
guide during storage.
