ECM. Unsnap the ECM from the bracket securing
it to the inner fender. Temporarily move the ECM
to the side to aid in the bracket relocation.

bracket. Remove the final screw securing the
bottom of the ECM bracket. Remove the ECM
bracket from the vehicle.

removing the strenthening ribs as shown in (Fig.

be necessary for proper fit.

where the ECM bracket was secured. (See Fig.

E. Put the ECM bracketry back in the vehicle, plac-
ing the mounting tab underneath the original

6mm x 50mm screws, washers, 6mm nuts and
spacers, secure the brackets using the original
mounting holes that have been enlarged. Use
the spacers between the ECM bracket and the
inner fender mount to space the ECM bracket
down. (See Fig. 2-b.)
