Method for assembling a drive train component

A method of assembling a component of a drive train, the component comprising at least a first part having a plurality of threaded holes and a second part having a corresponding number of through holes, the threaded holes and through holes each extending along an axial direction;

• the method comprising at least the following steps:
• a) providing the first part and the second part;
• b) arranging at least two guide elements in the threaded holes of the first part, wherein each guide element extends through one of the through holes;
• c) bringing together the first part and the second part along the axial direction, the parts being aligned with respect to one another via the guide elements;
• d) inserting a first screw element via a first through hole into a first threaded hole and screwing the first screw element;
• and
• e) removing a guide element from the component and inserting a second screw element via a second through hole into a second threaded hole and screwing the second screw element to produce the component,
• wherein a third part is arranged along the axial direction between the first part and the second part, which third part is arranged in a stationary manner relative to the axial direction by the first part and the second part by the assembly of the component, and the third part has a largest first diameter and each center axis of the threaded holes are arranged on a common second diameter, wherein the second diameter is at most 30% larger than the first diameter.
