WARNING:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-36, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

Use alternator bracket mounting bolt holes for the front side.
2. Lift with hoist and secure engine in appropriate position.
3. Use a manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiv-
alently rigid tool such as a transmission jack. Securely support
bottom of engine and transaxle, and simultaneously adjust hoist
tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.
4. Remove RH engine mounting insulator.
5. Pull LH engine mounting through-bolt out.
6. Remove mounting bolts at front end of center member.
7. Remove front suspension member mounting bolts and nuts.
Refer to FSU-5, "
FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove engine, transaxle and transfer assembly with front suspension member and center member from
vehicle downward by carefully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with vehicle side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.Slinger bolts:

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting
insulator.

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to figure of components. Refer to EM-85, "
Removal and Installation (4WD Models)" .

Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
