Strut Mount

The first step to replace the right side engine mount strut requires removing surge tank nuts followed by push pin retainer before extracting the surge tank from its mounting studs. Begin by removing both the engine mount strut brace bolt together with the nut then uninstall the entire engine mount strut brace piece. Following that installation requires the removal of the engine mount strut bolt along with the engine mount strut. Start engine mount strut installation by referring to the Fastener Notice and following its instructions. After installing the engine mount strut bolt you should apply torque until it reaches 70 N.m (52 lb ft). Install the engine mount strut brace before installing its bolt and nut according to torque specifications of 50 N.m tensions and 70 N.m for the nut. The last step entailed positioning the surge tank on its studs before installing surge tank nuts and push pin retainers which should be tightened to 6 N.m (53 lb in).

The first step to replace the right engine mount strut requires removal of the surge tank nuts and push pin retainer succeeding removal of the surge tank from the studs so you can place it aside. Start by detaching both engine mount strut brace bolt and nut before removing the engine mount strut brace. Then remove the engine mount strut bolt along with its corresponding strut. Begin the installation process by first installing the engine mount strut while following the Safety Precautions related to Fasteners mentioned in Service Precautions. Proceed to install the engine mount strut bolt while tightening it to 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs.). Complete installation by mounting the engine mount strut brace first and then install its bolt and nut while tightening the bolt to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) and the nut to 70 Nm (52 ft. lbs.). Set the surge tank on its corresponding studs before installing its nuts and push pin retainer while torquing the nuts to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.).

Position the recovery reservoir back onto the studs and install the recovery reservoir nuts and push pin retainer, tightening the nuts to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.).
