## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.041 kg
-   37 applications on DPX drives
-   Supersedes 3855595, previously listed as a flange screw
-   Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly two

## 🔌 Function

Clamps the joint it is fitted through, its head spreading load onto the mating face so the assembly stays tight under vibration.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Screw found loose, or joint leaking where it clamps
-   Thread stripped, galled or pulled
-   Head or drive rounded off, or the flange face dished
-   Screw stretched or snapped from over-tightening or corrosion

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The earlier number was listed as a flange screw, so the seating face is part of the design — do not substitute a plain screw and washer
-   Fit clean and torque to the workshop figure, and renew any screw that has been stretched or corroded
