@. Make sure iacks and safety stands are placed prop€dy,
and hoist brackets are atlach€d to correct position on
the enginc.
. Apply parking brake and block rear whosls so car will
nol roll olf stands and lall on you while working under
it.
CAUTION: Use fender covers to svoid damaging painted
surfaces.
1. Disconnect the negative {-) cable first, then the pos-
itive (+) cable from the battery'
Drain transmission oil {see page 13-3).
Remove the intake air tube. intake air duct and air
