Caution: As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil. Removal of the pressure cap while the engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution to boil instantaneously -- possibly with explosive force -- spewing the solution over the engine, fenders and the person removing the cap.
Important: Install hoses on dry, unpainted surfaces in order to ensure proper sealing.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the radiator hose clamps to 2.5 N·m (22 lb in).
Notice:
• Handle the MAF sensor carefully. • Do not drop the MAF sensor in order to prevent damage to the MAF
sensor. • Do not damage the screen located on the air inlet
end of the MAF. • Do not touch the sensing elements. • Do not allow solvents and lubricants to come in contact with the
sensing elements. • Use a small amount of a soap based solution in order to aid in
the installation.
Tighten
Tighten the hose clamp to 4 N·m (32 lb in).
Tighten
Tighten the wingnut to 2 N·m (18 lb in).
