3. DISCONNECTION OF FUEL HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure
in the fuel pipe line.
For information concerning the bleeding of the residual
pressure, refer to GROUP
13-On-Vehicle Inspection of
MFI
Components.
5. REMOVAL OF RADIATOR UPPER HOSE Make mating marks on the radiator hose and hose clamp,
and then disconnect the radiator hose.
28. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET
Jack up the vehicle after placing a wooden block between the jack and the engine’s oil pan.
Caution
Jack up carefully, so as not to apply an excessive
load to the various parts.
Remove the engine mount bracket.
32. REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
(1) Rotate the crankshaft and align the timing mark.
(2) Remove the camshaft sprocket (with the timing belt attached), and place on the timing belt front lower cover.
Caution
After removing the camshaft sprocket, be sure not
to rotate the crankshaft.

2. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
(1) Jack up the vehicle after placing a wooden block
between the jack and the engine’s oil pan.
Caution
Jack up carefully so as not to apply an excessive
load to the various parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket.
20. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing
marks.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be turned clockwise.
(2) Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the
same direction if it is to be reused.
(3) Loosen the bolt and tension spacer of the timing belt tensioner.
(4) Move the timing belt tensioner to the water pump side and loosely tighten the bolt so that the tensioner
doesn’t return; then remove the timing belt.
NOTE
If the timing belt is to be re-used, use chalk to mark (on
its flat side) an arrow indicating the clockwise direc-
tion.
Caution
1. As water or oil on the belt can seriously reduce
its usable life, ensure that the timing belt,
sprocket, and tensioner stay clean and dry while
removed, and never wash them. Parts that have
become too dirty should be replaced.
2. When any of the parts are oily, check to see
whether there are any oil leaks in any of the oil
seals or the cam shaft oil seal on the front of the
engine.

2. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
(1) With a wooden block placed against the oil pan part ofthe engine, jack up the vehicle.
Caution
Jack up gently, so as not to apply a load to the va-
rious parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket.
11. REMOVAL OF AUTO TENSIONER
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks so as to bring the
No.1 cylinder to compression
top-dead-centre position. At this time the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket
-and the upper surface of the cylinder head should coin- cide, and the dowel pin of the camshaft sprocket
should be at the upper side.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated clockwise.
(2) Remove the auto tensioner.
12. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the
direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same
direction if it is to be reused.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, so
the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contami-
nated.
If there is oil or water on each part check the front
case oil seals, camshaft oil seal and water pump for
leaks.
16. REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
(1) Rotate the crankshaft in the forward (right) direction
and align the timing mark.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated in the for-
ward direction only.

At this time the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket
and the upper surface of the cylinder head should
coincide, and the dowel pin of the camshaft sprocketshould be at the upper side.
Caution
The crankshaft must always be rotated clockwise.
(2) Remove the auto tensioner.

INSPECTION
V-RIBBED BELT
M14MDAG
Check following items and replace if faulty.
l Check belt surface for damage, peeling or cracks.
l Check belt surface for oil or grease.
l Check belt rubber for wear or brittleness.
l Check the pulleys for cracks or damage.
WATER PUMP
lCheck each part for cracks, damage or wear, and replace
the water pump assembly if necessary.
l Check the bearing for damage, abnormal noise and sluggish rotation, and replace the water pump assembly if
necessary.
lCheck the seal unit for leaks, and replace the water pump
assembly if necessary.
lCheck for water leakage. If water leaks from hole “A”, seal
unit is leaking. Replace as an assembly.

26. INSTALLATION OF O-RING Insert the O-ring to the water inlet pipe, and coat the outer
circumference of the O-ring with water. By coating with water, the insertion to the water pump will
become easier.
Caution
1.Care must be taken not to permit engine oil or other
greases to adhere to the O-ring.
2.When inserting the pipe, check to be sure that there is no sand, dirt, etc. on its inner surface.

(2) Keep the removed drive shaft as far away from the
transaxle case as possible, and secure (by using rope,
etc.) the joints to the body so that it does not fall.
21. REMOVAL OF TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Support the transaxle assembly by using a transaxle jack;
then, after moving the transaxle assembly to the right, lower it.
NOTE
When supporting the transaxle’assembly by the transaxle
jack, take care to be sure that the jack’s force is applied to a
wide area, not to only a small localized area.

17. INSTALLATION OF DRIVE SHAFT
(1) Provisionally install the drive shaft so that the inboard
joint part of the drive shaft is straight, and not bentrelative to the transaxle.
Caution
Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal lip
part of the transaxle is not damaged by the serrated
part of the drive shaft.
(2) Align the serrations and securely insert the drive shaft into the transaxle.
15. INSTALLATION OF FRONT HEIGHT SENSOR ROD
Install the rod so that dimension A in the figure is within the
following range.
Dimension A:
254.5* 0.5 mm (lo& .02 in.)
NOTE
(1) Adjust the rod length so that dimension B is equal.
(2) The ball joint on the end of the rod should be installed with the ball centered.
