WARNING:

High-voltage hazard!

The following must be strictly observed prior to starting work  :

WARNING: Risk of scalding.
Only perform this work after engine has cooled down.
IMPORTANT: If a coolant pump that has already been operated is reused, it must be filled with coolant after removal.
Mixture ratio, water: coolant = 1: 1
Protect plug connections against coolant and dirt contamination.

Recycling: 

Catch and dispose of drained coolant in a suitable collecting vessel.

Observe country-specific waste disposal regulations.

Installation note: 

  1. All screws, nuts, bolts and hose clamps removed during the repair must be replaced.
  2. Retaining elements on chassis and suspension and steering parts must be replaced.

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

IMPORTANT: To avoid the need for axle/wheel alignment, mark position of steering box (1) to front axle support (2).
To do so, draw a wide white stripe on the front bolting points (left and right) and apply a thin black marking (3) to this stripe.
