1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION ON HIGH TEMPERATURE MULTI-PURPOSE GREASE
High temperature multi-purpose grease consists of a lithium complex soap in a mineral oil product with a selected combination of additives. Extremely fine soap is contained in the oil, and serves as the basic ingredient.
This lubricating grease possesses the following properties:
- Very good thermal resistance and penetration stability
The structure and consistency must be maintained over long service life with temperatures from -22ºF to +302ºF (-30ºC to +150ºC) in continuous operation and very high loads. - Oxidation stability
A lubricating grease contains effective inhibitors (which limit or prevent chemical reactions) in order to stop oxidation at very high operating temperatures. - Water resistance and corrosion inhibition
A high temperature multi-purpose grease is water resistant. At the same time lubricated parts are given maximum protection against rust by the corrosion inhibitors.
2.0 APPROVED HIGH TEMPERATURE MULTI-PURPOSE GREASE
High temperature multi-purpose grease is used for the lubrication of wheel bearings.
Ball Bearings (E24 from mid 1982, E28, E30, E31, E32 and all following)
Provided with lifetime lubrication.
No subsequent lubrication approved!

Information On Replacing Shock Absorbers
Situation
When a shock absorber is faulty on one side (leaking, noises, etc.), often
both shock absorbers on the axle in
question are replaced.
Effect
This is not necessary for technical reasons and

Checking
Switch off the compressor.
Read the tire inflation pressure on the tire
pressure gage.
To continue the trip, a tire inflation pressure of at
least 2 bar must be reached.
Removing and stowing the sealant
container
Unscrew the filling hose of the sealant container
from the tire
Reinforcement Plate With Stud Bolt (Bonded)
In the case of a partial replacement piece, a body component is cut at a
point described in the repair instructions.
A reinforcement plate is bonded in to ensure sufficient strength.
Reinforcement plates are available as new parts and must also be used.
