🔧 Product Description
Genuine Volvo Penta split pin weighing 0.091 kg. No diameter or length is published for it, and the other split pin in this run, 979874, is a separate part at 0.011 kg, so weight is no guide to size - order by part number or match the old pin.
⚙️ Key Features
- 0.091 kg
- Single-use mechanical locking pin
- Diameter and length are not published - order by part number
- Split pin 979874 is the other pin listed here
🔌 Function
Passes through a drilled shaft or the slots of a castellated nut and is splayed open, so the nut cannot rotate off under vibration.
⚠️ Common Signs of Failure
- Castellated nut found loose or backed off along the thread
- Pin legs cracked or snapped where they were bent over
- Pin missing altogether, with a bright fretted witness mark at the hole
- Pin hole in the shaft worn oval or elongated
- Corrosion seizing the pin in its hole so it breaks up on removal
🛠️ Service Notes
- Fit a new pin every time - one that has been opened and closed once is work-hardened and will snap
- Splay both legs fully back and check that nothing rotating can catch them
📦 Condition
- Genuine Volvo Penta part
- Brand new
- Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
