3. Remove mounting nuts (2) of fuel filter (1), and move it aside
with its hoses connected. Temporarily secure it with a rope to
avoid putting load on its hose.
4. Disconnect water hoses from oil cooler.
lWhen removing oil cooler only, pinching water hoses near oil cooler to prevent engine coolant spilling.
CAUTION:
lPerform this step when engine is cold.
lDo not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
5. Loosen connecting bolt and remove oil cooler.
CAUTION:
Do not spill engine oil and engine coolant to rubber parts such as drive belts and engine mounting
insulator.
6. Remove water hoses and water connector, as necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Cooler
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through engine coolant inlet. If necessary,
replace oil cooler.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
lMake sure that no foreign objects are adhering to the installation planes of oil cooler or oil filter bracket.
lTighten the connecting bolt after aligning the stopper on the oil
filter bracket side with protrusion of oil cooler (1).
lInstall fuel filter (1), and tighten mounting nuts (2) to the speci-
fied torque.
