by carefully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:
 During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with body side.
 Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
 During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.
 If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
 Do not allow oil to get on mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage mounting insulator.
 When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring to
exploded views.
 Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
