WARNING:
• Position the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
• Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
• Attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG if engine is not already equipped.
CAUTION:
• Always be careful to work safely.
• Do not start working until exhaust system and coolant are cool enough.
• If items or work required are not covered by th e engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type must be used, support the rear axle
jacking point with a transmission jack or similar to ol before starting work, in preparation for the
backward shift of center of gravity.
• For supporting points for lifting and j acking point at rear axle, refer to GI-29, "
2-Pole Lift".
NOTE:
• When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from
spilling.

engine and the transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or an equivalent as the supporting sur-
face and secure in a stable condition.
18. Remove engine mounting insulator (RH) (1).
19. Remove engine through bolt-securing nut (C).
20. Carefully lower suitable jack, or raise lift to remove the engine and the transaxle assembly. Observe the following cautions:
CAUTION:
• Check that no part interferes with the vehicle side.
• Before and during lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
• During removal, always be careful to prevent the vehic le from falling off the lift due to changes in
the center of gravity.
• If necessary, support the vehicle by setting jack or suitable tool at the rear.
21. Remove starter motor. Refer to STR-31, "
Exploded View".
22. Lift with a hoist and separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to TM-24, "

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mount-
ing insulator.
• Check that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten nuts and bolts.
• When installation directions are specified, instal l parts according to the direction marks on them,
referring to the figure of components. Refer to EM-86, "
Exploded View".
• Inspect vehicle alignment and adjust (If necessary). Refer to FSU-8, "
