Before installing your new stator

• Disconnect the stator wires from connector (if used), and remove the mounting screws and old stator assembly. Save the screws.
• Measure the leads of the old stator. Cut the leads and protective sleeve of new stator to the same length.

• Apply pipe sealant with Teflon (Loctite No. 59241 or equivalent) to the stator mounting holes.
• Install the new stator and secure with the original mounting screws. Torque the screws to 6.2 N m (55 in. lb.) Attach stator wires to original connector (if used).
