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

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 .
Tighten the sub-frame mounting bolts to a torque
of :
•6 daN.m at the front,
•11 daN.m at the rear.
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.
