ATTENTION :
to prevent any damage being done to the rota-
ting switch under the steering wheel, please fol-
low these instructions :
- before releasing the steering column and the
rack, the steering wheel MUST be immobilised,
wheels straight, using the "steering wheel
locking" tool throughout the duration of the
repair,
- any doubts regarding the correct centring of
the rotating switch means that the steering
wheel has to be removed so as to apply the
centring method as described in chapter 88
"AIR-BAG".
REMINDER: in this case, only qualified personnel
who have received specific training may under-

- the converter bolts
- the bolts around the gearbox and the TDC sen-
sor.
Separate the automatic transmission from the en-
gine.
REFITTING (special notes)
Refit the converter by positioning it with respect
to the mounting bolts.
Tighten the bolts around the automatic transmis-
sion.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Aligning the engine sub-frame with the body will
be made easier by positioning two approximately
100 mmlong threaded rods in the two front sub-
frame-body mountings.
Tighten the sub-frame front mounting bolts to a
torque of 6 daN.m. and to a torque of 11 daN.m at
the rear.
Tighten all nuts and bolts to the re-
commended torque.
Fit the caliper mounting bolts using Loctite
FRENBLOC and tighten them to the correct tor-
que.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the
pistons back into contact with the brake pads.
Fill:
- the cooling circuit and purge it (see chapter 19),
- the engine with oil if necessary.
NOTE : check that the steering shaft yoke spacer is
in place when refitting.
