Rubber Parts and Tubing

• Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber
parts or tubing.

Hose Clamps

• When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the
original location on the hose and squeeze the
clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.

Torque Formulas

• When using a torque wrench-SST or equivalent
combination, the written torque must be
recalculated due to the extra length that the SST
or equivalent adds to the torque wrench.
Recalculate the torque by using the following
formulas. Choose the formula that applies to you.
