Removing-refitting timing drive belt

NOTE In order to refit the power unit simply reverse the order of the operations described for the removal.

• Prepare the engine compartment for fitting the power unit, taking care to position all the electrical cables, pipes, etc. so that they do not hinder the refitting;
• Take the necessary care, when fitting the power unit, to avoid damaging the individual components;
• When refitting the engine coolant pipes it is necessary to ensure that the reference on the flexible (rubber) pipe coincides with the projection on the rigid coupling sleeve. When refilling the cooling circuit, refer to the instructions in the "Removing-refitting radiator" chapter.

Firstly fix the engine side support tightening the bolts fixing it to the bodyshell to the recommended torque, then fix the gearbox side support and lastly the centre support, differential side. Make sure that the supporting points for the power unit are correctly fixed. Tighten the fixing bolts for the cross member, the track control arm and the rods connecting the stabilizer bar to the track control arm to the recommended torque.

Check the front wheel geometry.
