(9) If removed, install the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) as follows:
(a) Attach the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) to the fuel flow transmitter.
(b) Attach the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) to the fuel flow divider.
(c) Apply Antigalling Compound (Material No.P06-054) to the threads of the bolt (2).
(e) TORQUE the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) at the fuel flow transmitter as follows:
1 TORQUE the B-nut to between 750 and 675 lbf.in (8.48 and 7.63 m.daN )
.
.
(f) TORQUE the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) at the fuel flow divider as follows:
1 TORQUE the B-nut to between 750 and 675 lbf.in (8.48 and 7.63 m.daN )
.
.
(g) TORQUE the bolt (2) to between 44 and 38 lbf.in (0.50 and 0.43 m.daN )
.
(h) Install the heat shield (4) to the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) with the clamp (3).
(i) TORQUE the clamp (3) to between 18 and 15 lbf.in (0.20 and 0.17 m.daN )
.
(10) If removed, install fuel nozzle(s) and other removed hardware (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-09-400-801).
(11) Install the fuel filter element (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-06-400-801).
5. Close-up(1) Remove the fuel filter element (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-06-000-801).
(2) Inspect the fuel filter element (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-00-281-801).

(4) If the fuel filter element does have contamination or damage, do the steps that follow:
(a) Remove the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) if necessary.
1 Disconnect the fuel manifold (FM02) (1) from the fuel flow transmitter.
2 Remove the clamp (3) and shield (4) from the fuel manifold (FM02) (1).
