CAUTION:
- The fuel pump cap could be damaged if the SST is used with any play between the fuel pump cap and the SST. Securely attach the SST so that there is no gap between the SST brackets and the side of the cap.
While keeping the alignment mark and the floating lines aligned, tighten the fuel pump cap to the rotation angle and specified torque using the SST .
- If the specified torque cannot be obtained even when the fuel pump cap is rotated to the specified rotation angle, replace with a new fuel pump cap and retainer and repeat Step 3.
Rotation angle

50-140°

(Total angle for Step 2 and Step 3 is 410-500°.)

Cap tightening torque

80-135 N. m {8.2-13.7 kgf.m, 59-99 ft.lbs}
