ENGINE STAND SETTING

Setting

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using a different type of engine stand, note the difference in the steps, etc.
1.Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Exploded View.
2.Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely use engine stand.
NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely use engine stand holding the surface, to which transmission is installed.
- Remove clutch cover and clutch disc (M/T models). Exploded View.
- Remove drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) with power tool. Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV-10118600 (J-48641)], and remove mounting bolts.
- Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
- Check for deformation or damage of drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models).

CAUTION:
- Never disassemble drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models).
- Never place drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) with signal plate facing down.
- When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
- Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.





3.Remove pilot converter (A/T models) using the pilot bushing puller [SST: ST-16610001 (J-23907)] (A) if necessary.
4.Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto the widely use engine stand.

CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [220 kg (485 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the engine weight.
- If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove alternator. Exploded View.
- Remove A/C compressor. Exploded View.
- Remove intake manifold collector. Exploded View.
- Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Exploded View.
- Remove intake manifold. Exploded View.
- Remove ignition coil. Exploded View.
- Remove rocker cover. Exploded View.
- Remove exhaust manifold. Exploded View.
- Other removable brackets.
NOTE:





The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand (A)
that can hold mating surface of transmission with drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) removed.

CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
5.Remove alternator. Exploded View.
6.Remove A/C compressor. Exploded View.
7.Drain engine oil. Draining.





8.Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug (1) from both sides of the cylinder block as shown in the figure.
