CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage matching surface with connect-ing rod cap.
• Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft pin, resulting from an inte rference of the connecting rod
big end.
13. Remove connecting rod bearings. CAUTION:
When removing them, note th e installation position. Keep them in the correct order.
14. Remove piston rings from piston. • Before removing piston rings, check the piston ring side clearance. Refer to EM-219, "
Inspection After
Disassembly".
15. Using a suitable tool (A) remove piston rings. CAUTION:
• When removing piston rings, be careful not to damage thepiston.

7. Pry off drive shaft from transaxle assembly side as shown.• Make sure that circlip is attached on the edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply an excessive angle to drive shaft joint when
removing from the transaxle.
• Do not excessively extend slide joint.
• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down. Support the entire
drive shaft.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
• Move joint up/down, left/right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant looseness.
• Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.
• If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal. Note the following:
• Tighten to specifications.CAUTION:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.
• In order to prevent damage to differential side oil seal, place Tool
onto oil seal before inserting drive shaft as shown. Slide drive shaft
into slide joint and tap with a hammer to install securely.
• Install new circlip on drive shaft in the circlip groove on transaxle side. Refer to FAX-13, "
Disassembly and Assembly (Left Side)".
CAUTION:
Make sure the new circlip on the drive shaft is securely fas-
tened.
• After its insertion, try to pull the flange out of the slide joint by hand. If it pulls out, the circlip is not properly meshed with the transaxle
side gear.
• Check transaxle fluid level. Refer to MT-11, "
Inspection" (Manual RS5F91R), MT-54, "Checking M/T Oil"
(Manual RS6F94R), AT-17, "Checking A/T Fluid" (Automatic), CVT-14, "Checking CVT Fluid" (CVT).
