4. Install snap ring that holds the shroud in place.

5. Install the bearing and two snap rings in the compressor end of the housing. Install the snap rings with tool (A).

NOTE: Install the snap rings with the round side toward the bearing.

6. Put 6V2055 High Vacuum Grease in the groove for seal ring (7). Make sure the grease fills the groove approximately one half or more of the groove depth for the complete circumference of the groove to help make a carbon dam under the seal ring. Install seal ring (7) on the shaft. Install turbine wheel (8) and shaft in the housing.

7. Put housing in position on tool (B).


NOTICE

The oil hole in bearing (11) must be open and clean.


8. Install ring (13), bearing (11), sleeve (12), ring (10) and deflector (9) in the housing.

9. Install the seal rings on sleeve (15). Install sleeve in insert (14).

10. Install insert in the housing and install snap ring (17).

11. Install compressor wheel (16) on shaft.


NOTICE

When nut is tightened do not put a side force on the shaft.


12. Put clean engine oil on the threads of the shaft. Install the nut (18) and tighten to the torque given in the SPECIFICATIONS for the specific turbocharger model.

13. Install shaft housing into the turbine housing. Put 5P3931 Anti-Seize Compound on the threads of the bolts that hold "V" clamp (21) in position. Install the "V" clamp and tighten the clamp to a torque of 10 ± 2 lb.ft. (14 ± 3 N·m).

14. Install compressor cover (19) and "V" clamp (20). Tighten "V" clamp to a torque of 10 ± 2 lb.ft. (14 ± 3 N·m).
