Drive Plate Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • If the bolts are reused, remove the oil sealant from the bolt threads. Tightening a bolt that has old sealant on it can cause thread damage.
  1. Remove the sealant from the bolts hole in the crankshaft and from the drive plate mounting bolts.
    NOTE:
    • If all the previous sealant cannot be removed from a bolt, replace the bolts.
    • Do not apply sealant if new bolts is used.
  2. Install the drive plate.
  3. Apply sealant to the drive plate mounting bolts and install them.
  4. Set the SST  or equivalent against the drive plate.
    CAUTION:
    • When installing sealant covered bolts, tighten them immediately. Leaving these bolts in a half installed condition could cause them to be stuck that way, due to the natural hardening of the sealant.
  5. Tighten the drive plate mounting bolts in two or three steps in the order shown in Fig 1.

    73-87 N.m (7.4-8.9 kgf.m, 54-64 ft.lb)
