- Install SST to the inverter with converter assembly. (Step B)
- SST: 09891-47020
- Apply protective tape to SST as shown in the illustration.
*1 SST *2 Protective Tape - Insert SST into the inverter union grommet installation hole and tighten the bolt A of SST to install SST to the inverter with converter assembly as shown in the illustration.
*1 SST *2 Inverter Case with Condenser *3 Hybrid Vehicle Converter Kit - - *a Tips - - NOTE:- Do not damage the grommet sealing surface of the inverter with converter assembly.
- Do not apply excessive force to the coolant pipe.
- Check that the tips of SST are not in contact with the grommet sealing surface of the inverter with converter assembly.
- While supporting SST by hand, tighten the bolt A of SST to separate the inverter case with condenser and hybrid vehicle converter kit as shown in the illustration. (Step C)
*1 SST - - NOTE:Do not use air tools.
HINT:
Tighten the bolt (A) of SST and listen for 3 cracking sounds from the inverter case with condenser. After hearing the sounds, use a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with protective tape to pry between the parts at the area (B) shown in the illustration and separate them. If it is difficult to separate the parts, further tighten the bolt (A) of SST and pry between the parts again.
Do not pry between the parts excessively or the case rib (B) may be deformed or damaged.
