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-42, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .

3. Disengage intermediate fixing point. Pull out engine room harnesses to engine room side, and temporarily
secure them on engine.
CAUTION:
When pulling out harnesses, take care not to damage harnesses and connectors.
After temporarily securing, cover connectors with vinyl or similar material to protect against for-
eign material adhesion.
Vehicle Underbody
1. Remove A/T fluid cooler hoses and power steering oil pump oil cooler hoses.
Install plug to avoid leakage of A/T fluid and power steering fluid.
2. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 2 harness. Refer to EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
3. Remove exhaust front tube with power tool. Refer to EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
4. Disconnect steering lower joint at power steering gear assembly side, and release steering lower shaft.
Refer to PS-13, "
STEERING COLUMN" .
5. Separate steering outer sockets from steering knuckle. Refer to PS-18, "
POWER STEERING GEAR" .
6. Remove A/T control rod at control device assembly side. Then temporarily secure it on transmission, so
that it does not sag. Refer to AT-222, "
SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM" .
7. Remove rear plate cover from oil pan. Then remove bolts fixing drive plate to torque converter. Refer to
EM-187, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" and AT-271, "TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove transmission joint bolts which pierce at oil pan lower rear side. Refer to AT- 2 7 1 , "
TRANSMIS-

9. Remove lower ends of left and right strut from transverse link. Refer to FSU-6, "
FRONT SUSPENSION
ASSEMBLY" .
10. Remove transverse link mounting bolts at knuckle side. Refer to FSU-14, "
TRANSVERSE LINK" .
11. Remove front stabilizer at transverse link side. Refer to FSU-6, "
FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
12. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to PR-6, "
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT" .
Removal Work
1. Use manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiva-
lently rigid tool such as transmission jack. Securely support bot-
tom of suspension member and transmission assembly.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.
2. Remove engine rear member mounting bolts.
3. Remove front suspension member mounting nuts and bolts with power tool. Refer to FSU-6, "
FRONT
SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
4. Carefully lower jack, or raise lift to remove engine, transmission and front suspension member assembly.
When performing work, observe the following caution:
CAUTION:
Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.
Keep in mind the center of vehicle gravity changes. If necessary, use jack(s) to support vehicle
at rear jacking point(s) to prevent it from falling it off the lift.

Separation Work
1. Install engine slingers into front of cylinder head (left bank) and
rear of cylinder head (right bank).
2. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) under side nut with power tool.
3. Lift with hoist and separate engine and transmission assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Avoid damage to and oil/grease smearing or spills onto engine mounting insulator.
4. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-23, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
5. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-10, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
6. Separate engine from transmission assembly. Refer to AT-271, "

7. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) and brackets (RH and LH) from engine with power tool.
8. Remove rear engine mounting member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from transmission.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no engine oil gets on it.
For a location with a positioning pin, insert it securely into hole of mating part.
For a part with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-244, "Components" .
When installing engine mounting brackets (RH and LH) on cylin-
der block, tighten two upper bolts (shown as “A” in the figure)
first. Then tighten two lower bolts (shown as “B” in the figure).
NOTE:
Figure shows LH bank.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedure 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-12, "
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.Slinger bolts:
