REMOVAL
Outline
At first, remove the engine, the transmission assembly, the transfer assembly and the front final drive assem-
bly with front suspension member downward. Then separate the engine, the transmission assembly, the trans-
fer and the front final drive assembly.
Preparation
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-85, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3. Disconnect both battery terminals. Refer to SC-5, "
BATTERY" .
4. Remove the following parts:

Engine cover; Refer to EM-19, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .

Front road wheel and tires

Front and rear engine undercover

Front cross bar; Refer to FSU-17, "FRONT SUSPENSION MEMBER" .

Cowl top cover (right); Refer to EI-23, "COWL TOP" .

Air duct and air cleaner case assembly; EM-17, "AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Discharge refrigerant from A/C circuit. Refer to ATC-137, "
REFRIGERANT LINES" .
6. Remove radiator hoses (upper and lower). Refer to CO-14, "
RADIATOR" .
Engine Room
1. Disconnect heater hose from vehicle-side, and fit a plug onto hose end to prevent engine coolant leak.
2. Disconnect grounding cable (between vehicle to left bank cylinder head).
3. Disconnect battery positive cable harness at vehicle side and temporarily fasten it on engine.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45

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-118, "Components
(AWD Models)" .

When installing engine mounting bracket (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).

Install engine mounting bracket (RH) (lower) as follows:
–Temporarily tighten mounting bolts (shown as “C”, “D” and “E” in
the figure).
–Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque with following
mounting surfaces touched.
 Engine mounting bracket (RH) to engine mounting bracket (RH) (lower) (shown as “C” and “D” in figure).
 Front final drive to engine mounting bracket (RH) (lower) (shown as “E” in figure).

Make sure all engine mounting insulators are seated properly,
then tighten mounting 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-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.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid. power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

TIMING CHAIN
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
f. Further tighten by 90 degrees. (Angle tightening)

Check the tightening angle by referencing to the notches. The
angle between two notches is 90 degrees.
15. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to confirm it turns smoothly.
16. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may gen-
erate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The followings are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45

Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before working
on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.

When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.

Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.

Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.

Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new
ones.

Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.

Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.

Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.

After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.

Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.

Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.

Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recom-
mended special tools where specified for safe and efficient ser-
vice repairs.

When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
