2. Disengage the retaining clip at the rear of the degas bottle while lifting and positioning the bottle out of the way. See Figure 2.

3. Lift and position the power steering fluid reservoir out of the way.

CAUTION
Use an appropriate size wood block on top of the jack to prevent damaging the oil pan. A 2 x 4 or 4 x 6 piece of wood works best. On 2.0L SPI engines, be sure the wood block does not contact the oil drain spout. Cut a notch in the wood block, if necessary, to avoid damaging the oil pan.

4. Position the jack with the wood block under the engine oil pan and raise the jack just enough to support the engine during mount replacement.

7. Install the new retaining bolts. Do not tighten the bolts at this time.

8. With the engine in the "installed" position, tighten the nuts to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft).

9. Tighten the bolts to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).

10. Remove the jack.

11. Reposition the power steering fluid reservoir.

12. Reposition the degas bottle ensuring engagement of the retaining clip, then install the retaining screw. Tighten the screw to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
