Recoating of Precoated Parts
(I
Clean off the oíd adhesive from the bolts, nut or
installation part threads.
(2) Dry with compressed air.
(3) Apply the specified seal lock adhesive to the
bolt or nut threads.
(c) Precoated parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the symbol " * " .
7. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks.
8. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt tightening tor-
ques. Always use a torque wrench.
9. Use of special service tools (SST) and special service
materials (SSM) may be required, depending on the nature
of the repair. Be sure to use SST and SSM where specified
and follow the proper work procedure. A list of SST and
SSM can be found at the back of this manual.
10. When replacing fuses, be sure the new fuse is the correct
amperage rating. DO NOT exceed the fuse amp rating or
use one of a lower rating.
1 1 . Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the
proper locations (See page IN-7).
(a) If the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front or
rear end, be sure to block the wheels in order to
ensure safety.
(b) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on
the vehicle raised on jack alone, even for a small job
that can be finished quickly.
12. Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to
parts:
(a) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pulí on the end, not the
middle of the hose.
(b) To pulí apart electrical connectors, pulí on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(c) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such as
sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard floor,
they should be replaced and not reused.
