Apply clean engine oil to the bolt threads and underthe bolt heads.
4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.

3. Loosen the steering wheel bolt, then install a steering
wheel puller on the steering wheel and remove it.
Note these items when removing the steering wheel:
. Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering
column shaft when removing the steering wheel.
. lf you thread the puller bolts into the wheel hub
more than five threads, the bolts will hit the cable
reel and damage it. To prevent this, install a pair
of jam nuts five threads up on each puller bolt.
