WARNING:
+Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
+Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
+Do 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.
+For safety during subsequent steps, the tension of wires
should be slackened against the engine.
+Before removing front axle from transaxle, place safety
stands under designated front supporting points. Refer to
GI-45, ªGarage Jack and Safety Standº.
+Be sure to hoist engine and transaxle in a safe manner.
+For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
+When lifting engine, be careful not to strike adjacent parts,
especially the following: Accelerator wire casing, brake
lines, and brake master cylinder.
+In hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
+In removing drive shaft, be careful not to damage grease
seal of transaxle.
+Before separating engine and transaxle, remove the

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.
