unbend / flatten out / straighten the locking washers [tabs]
this locking washer has a tab that once bent prevent the nuts form unscrewing.
to be able to unscrew the nut, you need to unbend / flatten out / straighten this tab.
there are other types of locking washers, but only this one would make sense if used to prevent a nut from unscrewing when it shouldn't.
Also, with other types you just have to put more effort in unscrewing, no need to do anything first to the locking washer.

| Ah, that explains it I think. Thanks. I'm afraid it's too late to change the text because the translation was very urgent (aren't they all ?). |

remove locking washers
It's funny... effacer seems like a crappy machine (human?!) translated version of the english "remove" which out-of-context, might be translated to "effacer"
(...even google translate knows it's "retirer")
Look in google for "effacer rondelles" there are no examples. I'm pretty sure it means retirer/démonter. At worst, ask client and move on :)

Daryo
: given the limited context can not disagree, but the way it's usually done you can't remove "les rondelles frein" before you unscrew totally the nuts (dévisser les écrous) - that being the whole point of this safety device!
