REMOVAL PROCEDURE

2. Support the vehicle on safety stands.
3. Remove the attaching bolts and the engine-to-transmission brace.
4. Remove the torque converter cover.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the torque converter cover.
- Tighten the cover bolt to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the correct location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
