Dismantling

1. Remove the exhaust pipe.

COLLECTORS AND EXHAUST SYSTEM: MOD. K, volume 1.8, REPAIR WORK, Intake pipe.

2. Drain the oil from the engine.

MAINTENANCE, Engine oil and oil filter - K1.8.

3. Unscrew the bolt securing the lower crossbar to the bracket on the pallet.

4. Loosen the bolt securing the lower engine crossmember to the subframe and move the crossmember away from the bracket on the pan.



5. Unscrew the 3 bolts securing the lower cross member bracket to the pan and remove the bracket.



6. Unscrew the upper bolt securing the transfer case bracket to the cylinder block.



7. Remove the 5 bolts securing the bracket to the transfer case.

8. Remove the 3 bolts securing the transfer case bracket to the pan.

9. Position the transfer case bracket to allow space for removing the oil pan.



10. Unscrew the 2 bolts securing the engine sump to the gearbox.



11. Note the position of the two longest M8x60 bolts and unscrew the 14 bolts securing the oil pan to the integral main bearing cap in the sequence shown in the figure.

12. Using a mallet, lightly tap the tray to knock it off the sealant layer and remove the tray.

CAUTION: Do not pry the oil pan away from the main bearing cap.

Installation

1. Clean the inside of the oil pan. Using a lint-free cloth and solvent, clean the mating surfaces of the oil pan and integral main bearing cap.





2. Apply a continuous bead of STC 4600 sealant to the surface of the tray and spread it into an even layer using a roller trowel.

ATTENTION: Assembly of prepared parts must be carried out immediately to prevent contamination of surfaces with applied sealant.

3. Screw the mounting studs, LRT-12-146, into the locations shown in the figure.



4. Install the pan on the main bearing cover, screw the bolts into sockets 4 and 5 and tighten them to a torque of 4 Nm.



5. Screw 10 bolts into the remaining holes and tighten them lightly. The two longest M8 x 60 bolts should be screwed into the rear holes of the pan.

6. Screw in the bolts that secure the oil pan to the gearbox, tighten them slightly and loosen them again. This will position the rear flange of the oil pan correctly relative to the gearbox.

7. Remove the mounting studs, LRT-12-146, and install and lightly tighten the two remaining bolts.



8. Make sure that the rear flange of the oil pan is aligned with the gearbox housing and gradually tighten the oil pan mounting bolts in the sequence shown in the figure, M8x25 bolts - to 25 Nm, and M8x60 bolts - to 30 Nm.

9. Tighten the oil pan mounting bolts to the gearbox. Tightening torque 45 Nm.

10. Install the bracket on the transfer case and on the oil pan, screw in the bracket mounting bolts to the transfer case and tighten them to a torque of 50 Nm, and the bracket mounting bolts to the oil pan to a torque of 45 Nm.

11. Screw in the upper bolt securing the transfer case bracket to the cylinder block and tighten it to a torque of 45 Nm.

12. Install the lower cross member bracket onto the tray, screw in the bolts and tighten them to a torque of 100 Nm.



13. Install the lower cross member onto the tray bracket, screw in the bolts and tighten them to a torque of 80 Nm.

14. Tighten the lower cross member to subframe mounting bolt to 80 Nm.

15. Install the exhaust pipe.
