  4. Bracket
    NOTE:

    Bracket is positioned with a device in factory and must not be adjusted.

    If bracket must be replaced, for example, when doing repairs after an accident, proceed as follows.

    • Rear lid must be installed with the gas-filled strut.
    • Secure the bracket -4- lightly with a screw -5- on the drive unit first.
    • Bracket must still be moveable.
    • Attach drive unit on rear lid hinge parallel to axle until it comes in contact with motor socket.
      CAUTION:

      Drive unit socket must fit flat against hinge axle collar.

    • Secure the bracket -4- on the body side with the bolt -3- and tighten to 21 Nm.
    • Tighten the bolt -5- to 8 Nm.
    • Tighten the eccentric bolt with the lock nut to the drive unit to the tightening specification. Refer to "Lock Nut" (See Figure).
      NOTE:

      Upon tightening locking nuts, eccentric bolts are braced in hinge with no play.

      For this reason, you cannot counterhold eccentric bolt hex head with an open-end wrench when tightening locking nuts.

      When removing drive unit, this tension is released with a small turn to the right on eccentric bolt hex head, after you have loosened locking nuts.
