There are diamond washers between the crankshaft and the different parts whose task is to ensure that the correct friction is achieved in the joint. The diamond washers are thin steel washers with a coating of small industrial diamonds. The diamonds give an extremely high friction level between the surfaces. The coating wears during removal and tightening. It is therefore important to replace the washers with new ones when reinstalling this joints.
