5. Connect the high pressure hose to the power steering inlet fitting.
Tighten
Tighten the high pressure tube fitting to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft).
6. For all-wheel drive, install a transfer case. See Section 5D "Transfer case».
7. Install the transaxle rear mount assembly. See Section 1C1 "Mechanical part of the engine" - FAM II 2.4D.
8. Install the front exhaust pipe. See Section 1G2 "Engine exhaust system" - FAM II 2.4D.
9. Tighten the mounting bolt of the high pressure pipe bracket on the generator.
Tighten
Tighten the high pressure pipe bracket fixing bolt to 10 Nm (7 lb-ft).
10. Connect the return tube to the fluid reservoir.
11. Install the fluid reservoir with bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the fluid reservoir bolts to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
