Valve Body Installation. Geo Tracker - 4WD 1996

For 1990-2009 cars

Important: Torque sequence and specification is very important to valve body operation. If bolts are torqued at random, valve bores may become distorted and inhibit valve operation. DO NOT use air powered tools when assembling the valve bodies.

Verify that all parts are clean and dry before assembly.
