B ASSEMBLY 4. Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to the oil pan along the inside of the bolt holes and overlap the ends. 5. Install the oil pan. ij Tightening torque: 7.9-10.7 N.m (80-110 kgf-cm, 70-95.4 in4bf) End Plate Install the end plate. Tightening torque: 7.9--10.7 N.m (80-110 kgf.cm, 70-95.4 in-lbf) Flywheel (MT) or drive plate (AT) 1. Remove the sealant from the bolt holes in the crankshaft and from the bolts. Caution If all of the old thread locking sealant cannot be re- moved from the bolt, it will not torque properly. - Replace the bolt. Note If a new bolt is used, do not apply thread locking seal- ant. New Mazda bolts have sealant on them. 2. Set the flywheel onto the crankshaft. 3. Apply sealant to the flywheel bolts and install them. 4. Hold the flywheel with the SST. 5. Tighten the bolts in two or three steps in the order shown. Tightening torque: 97-102 N.m (9.8-10.5 kgf+m, 71-75.9 ft.lbf) Clutch Disc and Clutch Cover (MT) Install the clutch disc and clutch cover using the SST. (Refer to section H.) Tightening torque: 18-26 N.m (1.8-2.7 kgf.m, 14--19 ftlbf) Gartner Banana

ASSEMBLY B r/ DEFLECTION %HECKING POINT , 7. Reverse the direction of the SST on the flywheel (MT) or drive plate (AT). 8. Tighten the pulley lock bolt. Tightening torque: 157-166 N-m (16-17 kgf.m, 116-122 ft-lbf) 9. Turn the crankshaft 1 and 516 turns clockwise, and align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark. 10. Loosen the tensioner lock bolt to apply tension to the tim- ing belt. 11. Tighten the tensioner lock bolt. Tightening torque: 38-51 N-m (3.8-5.3 kgf-m, 28-38 ft4bf) 12. Turn the crankshaft 2 and 116 turns clockwise and verify that the timing marks are correctly aligned. 13. Measure the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 Ibf) midway between the two camshaft pulleys. If the deflection is not correct, repeat from step 7 above. Deflection: 9.0-11.5mm (0.36-0.45 in) at 98 N (1 0 kgf, 22 Ibf) Timing Belt Cover Install the lower, middle, and upper covers. Tightening torque: 7.9-10.7 N.m (80-110 kgf.cm, 70-95.4 in4bf) Gartner Banana

H CLUTCH UNIT Removal Note Clutch cover and disc 1 . Install the SST. 2. Hold the flywheel by using the SST or equivalent. e 3. Loosen each bolt one turn at a time in a crisscross pat- tern until spring tension is released. Then remove the clutch cover and disc. Flywheel 1. Hold the flywheel by using the SST or equivalent. 2. Remove the flywheel. 3. Inspect for oil leakage from the crankshaft rear oil seal. If there is any such leakage or if the oil seal is damaged, refer to section B and replace the crankshaft oil seal. Pilot bearing Note The pilot bearing does not need to be removed unless you are replacing it. Remove the pilot bearing by using the SST. L' Installation Note Flywheel 1. Wipe the bolts clean, and apply sealant to the bolt threads. 2. Install the flywheel, and secure it by using the SST or equivalent. 3. Tighten the bolts in the pattern shown. Tightening torque: 97-1 02 N.m (9.8-1 0.5 kgf.m, 71-75.9 ft-lbf) Pilot bearing Install a new pilot bearing flush with the flywheel by using a suitable pipe. Gartner Banana

CLUTCH UNIT, CLUTCH RELEASE COLLAR, CLUTCH COVER, CLUTCH DlSC H Clutch disc 1. Clean the clutch disc splines and main drive gear splines, and apply Mori White TA No.2 or equivalent or- ganic molybdenum grease. 2. Hold the clutch disc in position by using the SST. Clutch cover 1. Hold the flywheel by using the SST or equivalent. 2. Align the dowel holes with the flywheel dowels. 3. Tighten the bolts evenly and gradually in the pattern shown. Tightening torque: 18-26 N.m (1.8-2.7 kgf.m, 14--19 ft.lbf} CLUTCH RELEASE COLLAR INSPECTION Caution Cleaning the clutch release collar with cleaning fluids or a steam cleaner can wash the grease out of the sealed bearing. Turn the collar while applying force in the axial direction. If the collar sticks or has excessive resistance, replace it. CLUTCH COVER INSPECTION 1. lnspect the contact surface for scoring, cracks, and burning. Repair or replace as necessary. 2. Remove minor scoring or burning with emery paper. Repair if scoring or burning is major. Replace if cracked. 3. lnspect the tips of the diaphragm spring for wear and cracks. 4. If there is wear or cracks, replace the clutch cover. I I 45UOHX-027 CLUTCH DlSC INSPECTION 1. lnspect the lining surface for burning and oil contamina- tion. Repair with sandpaper if the trouble is minor. Re- place the clutch disc if it is badly burned or oil soaked. 2. lnspect for loose facing rivets or torsion dampers. Replace the clutch disc if any are loose. Gartner Banana

M DIFFERENTIAL 5. Separate the driveshaft from the differential and sus- pend it. 6. Remove the output shaft by using two pry bars as shown in the figure. J 7. Remove the oil seal. 8. Apply lithium-based grease to the new oil seal lip and install it by using'the SST. 9. Install the new clips. 10. Install the output shaft into the side gears by lightly tap- ping with a plastic hammer. 11. Verify that the output shaft is hooked into the side gears by pulling it by hand. ./ 12. Align the marks and install the drive shaft. Tightening torque: 54-64 N.m (5.5--6.5 kgf.m, 40-47 ft-lbf) 13. Install the upper arm installation bolt and nut.
