Section Title and major heading are given at the top of every
page.
An INDEX is provided on the 1st page of each section to
guide you to the item to be repaired.
REPAIR PROCEDURES
Most repair operations begin with an overview illustration.
It identifies the components and shows how the parts fit
together.

IN-2- INTRODUCTIONHow to Use This Manual

7. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent
leaks.
8. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt tighten-
ing torques. Always use a torque wrench.
9. Use of special service tools (SST) and special ser-
vice materials (SSM) may be required, depending on
the nature of the repair. Be sure to use SST and SSM
where specified and follow the proper work proce-
dure. A list of SST and SSM can be found at the back
of this manual.
10. When replacing fuses, be sure the new fuse has the
correct amperage rating. DO NOT exceed the fuse
amp rating or use one of a lower rating.
11. Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting
the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at
the proper locations.
(a) If the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front or
rear end, be sure to block the wheels in order to
ensure safety.
(b) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on the vehicle raised on jack alone, even for a
small job that can be finished quickly.
