"OFF" position, and then remove the oil pump hose from the fill port.
-
Spray the area with brake cleaner and
wipe away any residual fluid.
-
Using the tools listed in the previous
step, install the fill plug into the drive unit and torque the bolt to
specification.
CAUTIONWhile using the extension, set the digital torque wrench to 11 Nm. The resulting torque on the bolt will be 15 Nm with the extension.CAUTIONIf using tools not listed in this procedure, make sure the final torque on the bolt is 15 Nm.NoteInspect the O-ring for damage and replace if needed.
