## ⚙️ Key Features

-   51 applications listed
-   Covers MD, TMD, BB and TAMD engines and DP and SP drives
-   No supersession history
-   Order by part number
-   2 used per assembly

## 🔌 Function

Clamps the assembly together and is driven with a cross-head bit.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Cross recess rounded out by a slipping driver
-   Head corroded or seized in the casting
-   Thread stripped or pulled
-   Screw working loose in service

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Use a driver bit that fills the recess completely and press it in hard while turning; a worn or undersize bit is what wrecks the head on these screws
-   Renew any screw whose recess is already burred, or that is corroded or seized, rather than refitting it — someone has to get it out again next time
-   Clean out the threaded hole and check the thread before fitting, and take particular care in aluminium and plastic housings where the thread strips easily
-   Tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine where one is given; otherwise firm and even across the fixing, as these are small fasteners and are easily pulled
-   Use the thread-locking or sealing treatment the manual specifies for that position, and keep the original washers in their original order
