Final drive cross-member-To fit
Fit the final drive cross-member, reversing the pro-
cedure
given for removal.
1.
Torque tighten the nuts on the mount centre
bolts
(see
Chapter
P
for standard figures) and
whilst
tightening the mounts, check from underneath to
ensure that the mounts are centrally positioned to the
hole in the cross-member.
5.
If the final drive position is not correct, slacken
the nuts securing the mount and move the cross-
member in the appropriate direction.
This is best accomplished by gently levering the
cross-member whilst at the same time tapping the
heads of the mount centre bolts. Access to the bolt
heads is gained by lifting the carpet on the floor of
the boot.
It must be stressed that
if
Operation
5
is performed,
extreme care must be taken to ensure that the cross-
member mounts are still central to the hole in the
cross-member before finally tightening the nuts.
6.
Connect the half-shafts to the hub yokes.
