Removal and installation of the cross beam

To remove the cross beam:

- Park the vehicle on a support so that both front wheels are not touching the floor;

- Remove the heat shield to the axis and the engine front shield;

- Loosen the nuts securing the front and rear of the engine, remove the four screws (two long and two short), remove the two screws on the engine and remove the central longitudinal beam;

- Disconnect the wires from the oxygen probe connector; If the oxygen probe is removed, remove the front exhaust pipe from the manifold and remove it;

- Remove the rod gear with manual transmission;

- Remove the steering gear with transverse beams, as follows:

- Remove the bolt and loosen the heat shield to the collector, remove the two bolts securing the tube to the cross beam and the four screws on the housing of the steering mechanism (Fig. 7.17);

- Disconnect suspension arms of the stabilizer bar;

- Disconnect the front suspension arms on the transverse beams (see. Fig. 7.12);

- Substituting a crossbeam support, remove the two screws on the cross beam to the spar (Fig. 7.18);

- Remove the crossmember.

Installation cross beam should be performed in reverse order:

- Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the body;

- Refit the steering;

- Set the rack on the crossbar, without tightening the fasteners;

- Screw a new nut on the front axle bolt, without tightening it;

- Secure the crossbeam, tightening the bolts to the front 108 Nm and rear short bolts to 88 Nm;

- Set the steering arms and tighten the bolts to 69 Nm;

- Make sure to mount the bracket and insulation screen are in the correct position;

- Set the mounting tube and tighten the screws on the crossbar 25 N ?� m;

- Install heat shield and tighten the bolts to 10 Nm;

- Check that all mounting brackets are in place;

- Set the gearshift rod (torque 16 Nm);

- Adjust the position of the front exhaust pipe, install and tighten the bolts of the spring; while using new gaskets and comply with tightening threaded connections: the front exhaust pipe nuts - 9 Nm; bolts of the exhaust pipe to the catalytic converter - 35 Nm;

- Fix the central longitudinal beam in the front engine mounts; engine press forward and secure the longitudinal beam to the rear engine mounts; tighten the four screws on the central longitudinal beam torque 69 Nm;

- Tighten the engine torque 59 Nm;

- Install the engine front shield and heat shield on the semi-axis (torque 10 Nm);

- Remove the support and swing the suspension up and down several times to the rubber feet into place;

- Tighten the nut axial bolts to 91 Nm;

- Secure the anti-roll bar on the lower wishbone front suspension, which use new nuts and ball joints: tightening torque of 45 Nm.
