the transmission jack carefully until just before rear suspension
member is removed from stud bolts on the vehicle. Refer to
RSU-5, "
REAR SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
7. Disconnect fuel filler hose, EVAP hose and vent hose at fuel
tank side.

For disconnection procedure of quick connector on EVAP
hose, refer to FL-4, "
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FIL-
TER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove fuel tank protector.
9. Remove fuel tank band mounting bolts while supporting fuel
tank.
CAUTION:
Sustain the bottom of fuel tank by using plate or anything
same.
10. Remove fuel tank.

After lifting down the front portion of fuel tank, remove fuel
tank by pulling it from the upper front of final drive assembly,
so that fuel tank can move forwardly.
CAUTION:
Pay attention not to fall fuel tank because it forwardly
inclines and becomes unstable.
NOTE:
It is desirable that more than two technicians work together.

Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel tube.

Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the remaining length of screw thread becomes to the following.

Fit fuel tank band pin to the vehicle side securely.

Before fixing fuel tank, temporarily install fuel filler tube.

Checking Fuel LinesEBS00BKH
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00BKI
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.

Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.

Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and spark away from work area.
CAUTION:

Before removing fuel line parts, perform the following procedures:
–Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
–Disconnect negative battery terminal.

Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.

Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.

Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.

After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure
quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any
adjacent parts.

After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

REMOVAL
Separate each connection as necessity.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when reassembling.

If insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on insulator,
remove them.

When installing insulator avoid large gaps or interference between insulator and each exhaust
pipe.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gas leakage.

Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.

Install seal bearings at exhaust front tube and main muffler as follows.
CAUTION:
Do not mix the bolt and spring for seal bearing as the dimension is different for each seal bearing.
