Pipe Assembly: Installation

  1. Interconnect pipes C and D.

    Tightening torque: 

    1. Joint nut:  15 N.m (1.5 kgf-m, 10.8 ft-lb)
    CAUTION: Visually check that hose between tank and pipe D is free from bending or twisting.

    G02076468
  2. Tighten bolt A.
    1. Tightening torque:  13 N.m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)
  3. Temporarily connect pipes C and D to pipes (on the gearbox side).

  4. Temporarily install clamp E on pipes C and D.
    CAUTION: Ensure that the "8" letter side of clamp E is on the pipe C side.
  5. Tighten joint nut.
    1. Tightening torque:  15 N.m (1.5 kgf-m, 10.8 ft-lb)
  6. Tighten clamp E firmly.
    1. Tightening torque:  5.4 N.m (0.55 kgf-m, 4.0 ft-lb)
  7. Connect pipes A and B to four pipe joints of gearbox. Connect upper pipe B first, and lower pipe A second.

    Tightening torque:  13 N.m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.4 ft-lb)

  8. Install jack-up plate.
  9. Connect battery minus terminal.
  10. Feed the specified fluid and discharge air.
    CAUTION: Never start the engine before feeding the fluid; otherwise vane pump might be seized up.
  11. Finally check clearance between pipes and/or hoses, as shown.

    If clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is less than 10 mm (0.39 in), proceed as follows:

    1. Move clamped section (A) (refer to figure) down to a point where pipe is close to crossmember (pipe-to-crossmember clearance: 10 mm (0.39 in), min.).
    2. Check that clearance between cruise control pump and power steering hose is at least 10 mm (0.39 in). If it is not, bend section (B) down until a clearance of at least 10 mm (0.39 in) is obtained.
