17. Unscrew the fastening nuts and remove the flange from the cylinder head - to remove the flange from the studs, you will have to press the cooling tract hose down a little.
18. Installation is carried out in reverse order. Please note the following points:
- Before installation, check the condition of the pipeline mounting studs - replace damaged elements;
- Before installation, make sure that the mating surfaces are absolutely clean and dry, do not forget to replace the sealing gasket. If you removed the flange, make sure that the nuts that secure it are tightened evenly and with the required force;
- Install the rear part of the manifold, do not forget to replace the gasket. Make sure that the mounting bolts are tightened to the required torque;
- Restore the original connection of all communication lines - ensure that they are connected correctly and securely fastened;
- Make sure that the nuts of the nipple connections are tightened to the required force;
19. Finally, fill the cooling system (see Chapter Routine maintenance) and adjusting the throttle cable (see Removal, installation and adjusting the throttle cable - petrol models).
