Set the bottom housing aside.

 

 Whenever the bottom housing is opened for service, you must do two things:

1.You must clean the original thermal film from all thermal interface mating surfaces, 
and reapply thermal paste to the mating surfaces on the thermal pipe.

2. You must tighten the four torx screws on the bottom housing to a minimum of 17 

in.-lbs. Use a torque driver (service tool 076-0899) to ensure that the thermal pipe is 

firmly mated with the top base. If you do not have a torque driver, you must make 

sure the screws are tightened by hand FIRMLY, BUT NOT FORCIBLY.
