Separating new conrods

On new conrods it is possible that the breaking point is not fully separated. When the conrod bearing cap cannot be removed by hand, proceed as follows:

–	To avoid damage, gently clamp conrod in a vice with protection jaws, as shown in illustration.

Clamp conrod below dashed line.

–	Unscrew bolts -arrows- around 5 turns.
