Removal and InstallationNBEM0042WARNING:
ISituate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
IPlace chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
IDo not remove engine until exhaust system has com-
pletely cooled off. Otherwise, you may burn yourself
and/or fire may break out in fuel line.
IFor safety during subsequent steps, the tension of wires
should be slackened against the engine.
IBefore disconnecting fuel hose, release fuel pressure
from fuel line.
Refer to EC-39, ªFuel Pressure Releaseº.
IBefore removing front axle from transmission, place
safety stands under designated front supporting points.
Refer to GI section for lifting points and towing.
IBe sure to hoist engine and transmission in a safe man-
ner.
IFor engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
IWhen lifting engine, be careful not to strike adjacent parts,
especially accelerator wire casing, brake lines, and brake
master cylinder.
IIn hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
IBefore separating engine and transmission, remove
crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the assembly.
IAlways take extra care not to damage edge of crankshaft
position sensor (POS), or ring gear teeth.GI

Removal and InstallationNBFE0005CAUTION:
IAlways replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
IWith engine running, check all tube connections for exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for
unusual noises.
ICheck to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting insulators are installed properly and free
from undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise or vibration.
IDiscard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
IBefore installing new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread
Cleaner tool J-43897-18 of J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
IDo not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the oxygen sensor, result-
ing in the MIL coming on.
