Apply sealant to the side cover sealing surface of the CVT case.


Sealant bead diameter: 2.0 mm

Sealant:
 Loctite 5460 (See the PARTS INFORMATION on page 145 of this bulletin)
 Color: Pink
IMPORTANT:
 Confirm that the mating surfaces are clean before applying sealant.
 Make sure that the starting point and the ending point of the sealant is between
two bolt holes. Overlap both ends of the bead by 3 – 5 mm.

Be careful not to contact or contaminate the sealant. If the sealant has been
disturbed or contaminated in any way before side cover assembly is installed,
remove the sealant completely and reapply to prevent possible leaks.
