Removal and InstallationWARNING:
- Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
- Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
- Do not remove engine until exhaust system has completely cooled off. Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break out in fuel line.
- For safety during subsequent steps, the tension of wires should be slackened against the engine.
- Before disconnecting fuel hose, release fuel pressure from fuel line.
Refer to Powertrain Management; Fuel Delivery and Air Induction.
- Before removing front axle from transmission, place safety stands under designated front supporting points.
- Be sure to hoist engine and transmission in a safe manner.
