o Centermember and torque the front mounting bolts to 65 ft. lbs. (88 Nm) and the rear bolt to 54 ft. lbs. (73 Nm)
o Front engine roll stopper through-bolt and lightly tighten. Once the full weight of the engine is on the mounts, torque the bolt to 42 ft. lbs. (57 Nm).
o Clutch release cylinder
o Halfshafts using new circlips
|WARNING |
|When installing the halfshaft, keep the inboard joint straight in relation to the axle, to avoid damaging |
|the oil seal lip of the transaxle, with the serrated part of the halfshaft. |
o Tie rod and ball joints to the steering knuckle. Torque the ball joint self-locking nuts to 48 ft. lbs. (65 Nm). Torque the tie rod end nut to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm) and secure with a new cotter pin.
