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.
