Procedure
- Sequence
- 1) Differential mounting spacer 37–52 N·m (27–38 ft·lb). 2) Support the transmission level, fit the PPF and snug the transmission-side bolts by hand (reamer bolt in the forward hole; check the sleeve is in the block). 3) Snug the spacer, bolts and PPF bracket. 4) Torque the transmission-side bolts. 5) Torque the differential-side bolts.
The order matters: torquing the PPF in the wrong order preloads the drivetrain.
