REFITTING
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fit the suspended engine mounting cover and
movement limiter assembly.
ADJUSTING THE LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT
LIMITER
Slacken the two limiter bolts (E).
Insert the fork for centring the limiter Mot. 1289-
03 into the openings in the suspended engine
mounting cover.
99174-2R
Tighten the two limiter bolts (E) to a torque of
6 daN.m.
Fill the gearbox and cooling circuit and bleed the
circuit (see section 19).
Apply RHODORSEAL 5661 (e.g.-
CAF 4/60 THIXO)
to the holes for the driveshaft roll pins.
Fit the brake caliper bolts with Loctite
FRENBLOC and tighten to the correct tor-
que.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons back into contact with the pads.
NOTE: ensure the heat shields are correctly
positioned.

REFITTING
The engine sub-frame can be easily aligned with
the bodywork by positioning the two
approximately 100 mm long threaded rods into
the two front mountings of the body sub-frame .
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
If the vehicle has manual steering, position the
shock absorber mountings into the holes (A), and
into holes (B) for power assisted steering.
92114-1R
Tighten all bolt, nuts and screws to the
recommended torques.
Fit the caliper mounting bolts using Loctite
FRENBLOC and tighten them to the correct
torque.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons back into contact with the pads.
Fill:
- the cooling circuit and bleed it (see section
19),
- the engine and gearbox if required.
NOTE:
- check the steering shaft yoke spacer is in place
when refitting,
- ensure the heat shields are correctly
positioned.
