Then apply the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt, nut or threads. (c) Precoated parts are indicated in the component illustrations by the ” ” symbol. 7. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks. 8. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt tightening torques. Always use a torque wrench. 9. Use of special service tools (SST) and special service materials (SSM) may be required, depending on the nature of the repair. Be sure to use SST and SSM where specified and follow the proper work proce- dure.
A list of SST and SSM can be found at the prep- aration of AT section. 10. When replacing fuses, be sure the new fuse has the correct amperage rating.

Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the proper locations. (a) If the vehicle is to be jacked up only at the front or rear end, be sure to block the wheels at the oppo- site end in order to ensure safety. (b) After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on stands.
It is extremely dangerous to do any work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for a small job that can be finished quickly. IN0252 11
