REMOVAL

NOTICE: If the engine mount front cover stud turns or comes out during nut removal, the stud must be fully installed prior to installing the mount and/or nut. Damage to the front cover may occur if the stud is driven with the nut and does not sufficiently engage the front cover threads.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: If reinstalling a previously installed stud the threads must be thoroughly cleaned before applying Loctite or equivalent. If installing a new stud, the stud may or may not have a pre-applied Loctite. The front cover stud hole must be thoroughly cleaned using a 10 mm x 1.5 tap to clean the threads and compressed air to remove particles from the stud hole.

2. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent to threads of holes in engine front cover using a cotton tipped applicator keeping top two threads clean.

NOTICE: Do not over apply Loctite (or equivalent) or allow to accumulate in bottom of hole. The front cover could be damaged when the stud is installed.
