2. Remove A/C compressor from engine. Temporarily secure A/C compressor to vehicle side with a rope to
avoid putting a load on them.
3. Remove bracket mounting bolts for fixing A/C piping on right strut housing and exhaust manifold cover.
Doing so simplifies moving.
4. Remove power steering oil pump with piping connected, and secure it to vehicle side temporarily. Refer to
PS-34, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
5. Remove power steering reservoir tank from bracket to move power steering piping. Refer to PS-34,
"HYDRAULIC LINE" .
CAUTION:
To avoid power steering fluid leakage, temporarily fix power steering reservoir tank vertically.
6. Install engine slingers into front left of cylinder head and rear
right of cylinder head.

Use alternator bracket mounting bolt holes for the front side.
7. Lift with hoist, and support the engine posture.
8. Remove RH engine mounting insulator and bracket. Refer to EM-78, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
9. Remove center member and rear engine mounting bracket. Refer to EM-78, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
10. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
11. Remove oil pan (upper and lower), and oil strainer. Refer to EM-25, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
12. Remove intake valve timing control cover.

Loosen bolts in reverse order as shown in the figure.

2. Remove front oil seal with a suitable tool.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage front cover and crankshaft.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to new front oil seal joint surface and seal lip.
2. Install front oil seal so that each seal lip is oriented as shown in
the figure.

Press-fit front oil seal until it is flush with front end surface of
front cover with a suitable tool.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage front cover and crankshaft.

Press-fit oil seal straight to avoid causing burrs or tilt-
ing.
3. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
