5.
Apply a 1/16" to 3/32" bead of RTV Silicone Rubber Sealant, P/N 12345739 or equivalent, around the diameter of the reservoir where the "O"
ring is positioned when installed.
6.
Using a protected finger, smooth the sealant uniformly around the diameter of the reservoir.
Important:
Allow the sealer to cure EXACTLY 20 MINUTES.
7.
While sealer is curing, loosen the metal pipe at the elbow in the pump inlet and drain the fluid from the pipe. This pipe is routed between the
bottom of the solenoid and pump inlet.
8.
Reconnect the pipe and torque the pipe nut to 16 N.m (12 lb ft).
9.
Loosen the metal pipe at the actuator inlet and at the tee connector.
