Start the transmission support crossmember service by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL on a hoist system. The installation requires you to first remove the four transfer case skid plate bolts then take away the transfer case skid plate which should be tightened to 15 Nm (133 lb-in) before reinstalling it. Begin by uninstalling the right heat shield bolt until it reaches 18 Nm (159 lb-in) torque after which install the left heat shield bolt following the same specifications. Insert a suitable jack under the transmission for support before untightening the two transmission mount nuts that need to be fastened to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) during reinstallation. Remove the six lower bolts from the transmission crossmember before installation while tightening them to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft). During the reinstallation step secure the transmission crossmember with 143 Nm (105 lb-ft) torque on both upper nuts and bolts. Execute the reverse order of removal to install the transmission crossmember.

Service of the transmission support crossmember requires that the vehicle stays in NEUTRAL while positioned on a hoist. The first step involves uninstalling the four transfer case skid plate bolts until you remove the transfer case skid plate. When reinstalling the skid plate tightness should be set to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft).

The six bolts attached to the transmission crossmember need to be removed during this step yet must be tightened to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) when reinstalling them. You should first handle the two upper nuts and two bolts from the transmission crossmember before installing these fasteners with a torque setting of 143 Nm (105 lb-ft). To reinstall the transmission crossmember you need to perform the reverse steps of removal.
