NOTICE
• When replacing a component listed below, see the notes to help ensure proper
operation.

there are no water leaks after the repair is complete.
• Seal bolts must be replaced once removed because seal material is one-time use
only. If new seal bolts do not have pre-applied threadlocker, apply Loctite 243 or
equivalent threadlocker to seal bolt threads. Tighten to the torque values listed
below.
