- Install 4 new torque converter nuts.
- Rotate the crankshaft as needed to gain access to all the nuts.
- Tighten to 35 Nm (26 lb-ft).
- Rotate the crankshaft as needed to gain access to all the nuts.
CAUTION:
When installing the torque converter nuts, the crankshaft must be rotated only in the clockwise direction, otherwise engine damage can occur. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket can also be moved when the crankshaft pulley is turned in the counterclockwise direction.
