Flex Plate: Specifications

Align the torque converter to flexplate/flywheel orientation marks made during the removal procedure.

Important: Torque converter bolts are self locking and must be replaced with NEW torque converter bolts every time the bolts are removed.

Repeat the following steps for all 3 torque converter bolts:
1 Rotate the harmonic balancer center bolt clockwise ONLY, in order to align the torque converter bolt holes in the flexplate/flywheel with the starter motor opening in the engine block.
2 To aid in alignment of the torque converter to the flexplate/flywheel. Install all 3 NEW torque converter bolts before fully tightening.

Tighten the bolts to 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs.)
