   	Front of the Vehicle	-	-

   1. Install the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly to the fuel tank sub-assembly.
      NOTE:

      Make sure to correctly assemble the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly as shown in the illustration. If assembled incorrectly, the fuel sender gauge assembly (No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly) may catch on the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly resulting in incorrect operation of the fuel sender gauge assembly (No. 2 fuel sender gauge assembly) and an incorrect value being displayed on the fuel gauge.

WARNING: The fuel tank sub-assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair information, or the fuel tank sub-assembly may fall off the engine lifter. Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

   1. Set the fuel tank sub-assembly on an engine lifter.
      NOTE:

      Using height adjustment attachments and plate lift attachments, keep the fuel tank sub-assembly horizontal.

   2. Using the engine lifter, slowly raise the fuel tank sub-assembly, and then temporarily install the fuel tank sub-assembly and 2 fuel tank band sub-assemblies with the 4 bolts.
      NOTE:

      • Be careful not to drop the fuel tank sub-assembly.
      • When installing the fuel tank sub-assembly, tilt it slightly to prevent it from interfering with the surrounding parts.
   3. Tighten the 4 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.

      Specified tightening torque: 

      Torque: 45 N.m (459 kgf/cm, 33 ft.lbf) 

   4. Using SST, install the rear side of the fuel tank band sub-assembly.
      • SST: 09961-00950 

      Specified tightening torque: 

      Torque: 45 N.m (459 kgf/cm, 33 ft.lbf) 

      HINT: 

      • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.

        Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2021 - ]

      • When using SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.91 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)): 24.5 N.m (250 kgf/cm, 18 ft.lbf)
