IMPORTANT:
The door side upper and lower hinge bolts must remain tight enough to retain door adjusted position.
- Loosen the 13 mm door side upper and lower hinge bolts. Do not remove the bolts.
- Adjust the door up or down by repositioning the door as needed.
- Adjust the door in or out by repositioning the door as needed.NOTE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Tighten the 13 mm door side upper and lower hinge bolts.
