4. Carefully lower jack, or raise lift to remove the engine, the transmission assembly and front suspension
member. When performing work, observe the following caution:
CAUTION:
Confirm there is no interference with the 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 the vehi-
cle 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 (right bank) and rear of cylinder head (left bank).
To protect rocker cover against damage caused by tilting of
engine slinger, insert spacer between cylinder head and
engine rear lower slinger, in direction shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Spacer is a component part of engine rear upper slinger
assembly.
2. Remove power steering oil pump from engine side. Refer to PS-30, "
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP" .
3. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) under side nuts with power tool.
4. Lift with hoist and separate the engine and the transmission assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Before and during this lifting, always make sure that any harnesses are left connected.
Avoid damage to and oil/grease smearing or spills onto engine mounting insulator.
5. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-24, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
6. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-11, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
7. Separate the engine from the transmission assembly. Refer to AT- 2 6 6 , "
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from the engine with power tool.
9. Remove rear engine mounting member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from the transmission assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no 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-113, "Components
(2WD Models)" .
