(2) Remove the clamp, and disconnect the
evaporation hose from the pipe.
CAUTION:
•Collect fuel from the hose into container.
•Disconnect the hose with its end wrapped
with cloth to prevent fuel from splashing.
30) Support the engine with a lifting device and
wire ropes.
31) Support the transmission with a garage jack.
CAUTION:
Doing this is very important because the trans-
mission lowers for its own weight. This work is
also of great importance for facilitating reinstal-
lation.
CAUTION:
Before removing the engine away from trans-
mission, check to be sure no work has been
overlooked.
32) Separation of engine and transmission:
(1) Remove the starter. REMOVAL, Starter.>
(2) Remove the bolts which hold upper side of
transmission to engine.
33) Install the ST to converter case.
