using reverse of how it was removed.
(2) Install hose at fluid cooler using one of follow-
ing applicable ways:
(a) If quick-connect tube nut is on end of hose,
thread tube nut into fluid cooler port (Fig. 6).
Tighten tube nut to 15 N·m (130 in. lbs.) torque.
(b) If quick-connect tube nut is threaded into
fluid cooler port, separate of hose, slide end of hose
tube into quick-connect tube nut until it locks into
place (Fig. 7).
(3) Install front extension belly pan. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/EXTERIOR/BELLY PAN - INSTALLATION)
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Position radiator and install mounting screws
(Fig. 8). Tighten mounting screws to 5 N·m (45 in.
lbs.) torque.
(6) Thread return hose tube nut on gear end of
hose into power steering gear port (Fig. 7). Tighten
tube nut to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.) torque.
(7) Install air cleaner. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/AIR
INTAKE SYSTEM - INSTALLATION)
(8) Connect the battery negative (-) cable to bat-
tery negative battery terminal.
CAUTION: Do not use automatic transmission fluid
