Forward Clutch Support Stud Installation. Cadillac Concours 1996

For 1990-2009 cars

1. Rotate the forward and coast clutch support (822) counterclockwise against the spline. Do this by tapping on the support in a counterclockwise direction against the splines.

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.

2. Install the forward clutch support studs (5). First tighten the stud closest to the bench (or the rear of the vehicle). Then tighten the second stud.

Tighten
Tighten the studs to 25-27 N·m (19-20 lb ft).
