3) After installing the oil pump, fill the fluid while rotating the pulley by hand and bleed the air from the oil pump.
CAUTION: Always fill the oil pump with the fluid to prevent abnormal noise and seizure of the oil pump.
4) Connect the pressure hose and suction hose.
Tightening torque:
Eye bolt 40 N-m (4.1 kgf-m, 29.5 ft-lb)
CAUTION: Be careful when installing; If the hose is twisted it may come into contact with other parts.
