15. Tighten connecting rod bolts using Tool.

Apply engine oil to threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.

After tightening bolts, make sure the crankshaft rotates
smoothly.

Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-94, "CON-
NECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
16. Install knock sensors. CAUTION:
If knock sensor is dropped, replace it with a new one.

Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.

Install it with its connector facing the center of the cylinder
block side.

Do not tighten knock sensor bolts while holding connector.

Make sure knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.

Position the sub-harness as shown before installing intake
manifold.
17. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
18. Remove engine assembly from engine stand.
19. Install drive plate.

Align dowel pin of crankshaft rear end with pin holes of each
part to install. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

Checking Exhaust SystemEBS00M3X
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Removal and InstallationEBS00M3Y
Exhaust System
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled. The system will be hot just after the
engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.

REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.

Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.

If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.

Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration. Tool number

WHEEL HUBPFP:43202
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceEDS003BN
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, backlash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there
is no looseness of wheel bearing.

Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or
other irregular conditions. If there are any irregular conditions,
replace wheel hub and bearing assembly.
Removal and InstallationEDS003BO
REMOVAL
1. Remove wheel and tire using power tool.
2. Remove engine under cover using power tool.
3. Without disassembling the hydraulic lines, remove caliper torque member bolts using power tool. Then
reposition brake caliper aside with wire. Refer to BR-22, "
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper and
Disc Rotor" .
NOTE:
Do not press brake pedal while brake caliper is removed. Axial end play limit : 0.05 mm (0.002 in) or less

sively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up, down, left, right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant loose-
ness.

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.

If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and
repair or replace as necessary.
