2. Remove the flexplate to propeller shaft rear bearing bolts.
3. Remove the flexplate.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Position the flexplate to the propeller shaft rear bearing so the side of the flexplate marked CONVERTER SIDE will face the transmission torque converter.

- Tighten the flexplate to propeller shaft rear bearing bolts to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).

NOTICE: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Install the driveline support assembly to the transmission and the vehicle.
