Align marks. Attach each joint. Screw clamps firmly.
To position air cleaner case, refer to EM-18, "Changing Air Cleaner Filter" .
Changing Air Cleaner FilterNBS003G4
INSPECTION
Check status (fouling, damage, etc.) of air cleaner filter at power duct
hole.
REMOVAL
Removal in the order below.
1. Remove air duct (inlet) from air cleaner case.
2. Disconnect harness connector from mass air flow sensor.
3. Loosen clamp bolts of air hose.
4. Remove mounting bolts for air cleaner case. Remove air cleaner case/mass air flow sensor/air hose assembly.
5. Unhook clips and open air cleaner case, and remove air cleaner filter.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
If grommet at bottom of air cleaner case comes off together with
air cleaner case, fix it to vehicle before installation.
Look at internal bottom face through power duct hole, and posi-
tion air cleaner case with resonator upper end circle and air
cleaner case round hole aligned. Then push air cleaner case
straight down.
At this time, check by hand if protrusion at bottom of air cleaner
case has been inserted into grommet on vehicle side.
Clip power duct with bulge on reverse side of lower end
engaged with air cleaner case.

WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never drain engine coolant when the engine is hot.
Gasket for intake manifold collector (upper) is secured together with mounting bolt for intake man-
ifold collector (lower). Thus, even when only gasket for upper side is replaced, gasket for lower
side must be also replaced.
