Removal Procedure
- Remove the air filter assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement .
- Disconnect the reactor hose assembly from the reactor pipe by releasing the spring clamp.
- Remove the reactor pipe assembly bolts.
- Remove the reactor pipe assembly and gasket.
- Separate the check valve from the reactor pipe by loosening the pipe locknut.
Important: Perform this step only if the check valve needs replacement.
Installation Procedure
- Skip the first step if the check valve has not been removed.
- Install the reactor pipe and the gasket.
- Install the reactor pipe assembly bolts.
- Connect the reactor hose assembly to the reactor pipe by installing the spring clamp.
- Install the air filter box assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement .
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.
Connect the reactor pipe and check valve by installing the pipe locknut.
Tighten
Tighten the locknut to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
Important: Clean the manifold mounting surfaces of any debris or carbon buildup. An airhole can adversely effect the vehicle emissions and driveability.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
