Thank you OP for the instructions but everyone following the DIY please be aware that the
drain plug torque value may be incorrect. Even the referenced service manual had inconsistent Nm to ft-lbs conversions.
Per Nm values in the service manual (SM):
Refill plug: 39Nm / 28.76 ft-lbs
Overflow plug: 20Nm / 14.75 ft-lbs (incorrectly converted to 27.3 ft-lbs in SM)
Drain plug: 20Nm / 14.75 ft-lbs (incorrectly converted to 7.4 ft-lbs in SM)
I unfortunately used 27 ft-lbs for my drain plug and stripped it....lesson learned. Hope no one else makes the same mistake!
