Removal and InstallationNJEM0071CAUTION:
+When installing bearings, pistons, or other sliding parts,
lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
+Place removed parts such as bearings and bearing caps
in their proper order and direction.
+When installing connecting rod nuts, and main bearing
cap bolts, apply new engine oil to threads and seating
surfaces.
+Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the signal
plate of flywheel.
+Do not remove the signal plate at back.
+Do not place the signal plate side facing under.
+Handle with care so as not to damage the signal plate
[especially four places on protrusions for signal of crank
position sensor (TDC sensor)].
DisassemblyNJEM0072PISTON AND CRANKSHAFTNJEM0072S011. Remove engine. Refer to ªENGINE ASSEMBLYº, ªRemoval
and Installationº, EM-136.
2. Place engine on a work stand.
a. Remove flywheel.
+Hold ring gear with ring gear stopper (KV10105630,
KV10105610). Then, loosen securing bolts with TORX socket
(size: Q8 E20, Commercial Service Tool) and remove them.
As an alternative method, hold the crankshaft pulley with a
pulley holder (SST) to remove the flywheel.

CONNECTING ROD BOLT DEFORMATIONNJEM0073S18+Install nuts to connecting rod bolts. Check that the nut can be
screwed smoothly on bolt threads by hand to the last thread
on the bolt.
+If the nut does not screw in smoothly, measure the outer diam-
eter of the bolt thread at the point specified in the figure.
+If a necked point is identified, measure at that point.
Standard: 8.90 - 9.00 mm (0.3504 - 0.3543 in) dia.
Limit: 8.75 mm (0. 3445 in) dia.
