Removal And Installation

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

2WD : Removal and Installation


WARNING:
- Situate 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 slingers are not equipped.

CAUTION:
- Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
- Never start working until exhaust system and coolant are cool enough.
- If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
- Always use the support point specified for lifting.
- Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
- For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift".
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.

REMOVAL

Outline

2.Drain engine coolant from radiator. Draining Engine Coolant.

CAUTION:
- Perform this step when the engine is cold.
- Never spill engine coolant on drive belts.
3.Remove the following parts.
- Engine undercover
- Front road wheels and tires
- Front fender protector (RH and LH): Exploded View.

Engine Room LH
1.Disconnect all connections of engine harness around the battery, and then temporarily secure the engine harness into the engine side.

CAUTION:
Protect connectors using a resin bag against foreign materials during the operation.
2.Disconnect fuel feed hose quick connector. Exploded View.
3.Disconnect heater hoses. Exploded View.
4.Remove EVAP hoses. Exploded View.
5.Disconnect control cable from transaxle. (CVT models) Exploded View.
6.Disconnect control linkage from transaxle. (M/T models) Exploded View.
7.Disconnect clutch tube on transaxle side from clutch damper. (M/T models) Exploded View.
Engine Room RH
1.Disconnect vacuum hose from intake manifold. Exploded View.
2.Remove A/C compressor. Exploded View.
3.Remove ground cable at engine side.
Vehicle Underbody
1.Remove ground cable at transaxle side.
2.Remove drive shafts (RH and LH). Front Drive Shaft.
3.Remove rear torque rod.
4.Remove stabilizer connecting rod. Exploded View.
5.Remove front suspension member. Exploded View.
6.Preparation for the separation work of transaxle is as follows:
- Remove transaxle joint bolts which pierce at oil pan (upper) lower rear side. Exploded View.
Removal





1.Use a manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) (A) or equivalently rigid tool such as a transmission jack. Securely support bottom of the engine and the transaxle assembly.

CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or an equivalent as the supporting surface, secure a completely stable condition.





2.Remove upper torque rod (RH) (1), and engine mounting insulator (RH) (2).

White arrow indicates : Vehicle front

3.Remove engine mounting insulator (LH). (CVT models)





4.Remove the through bolt-securing nut (B) of engine mounting bracket (LH). (M/T models)





5.Carefully lower jack, or raise lift to remove the engine and the transaxle assembly. When performing work, observe the following caution.

CAUTION:
- Check that no part interferes with the vehicle side.
- Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
- During the removal, always be careful to prevent the vehicle 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.
Separation
1.Remove catalyst convertor. Exploded View.
2.Remove turbocharger. Exploded View.
3.Remove exhaust manifold. Exploded View.





4.Install engine slinger to front cover front left side (A) and cylinder head rear right side (B).

5.Remove starter motor. Exploded View.
6.Lift with a hoist and separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Exploded View.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:
- Never allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting insulator.
- Check that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting nuts and bolts.
- When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring to the figure of components. Exploded View.
Rear torque rod bracket





1.Temporarily tighten mounting bolts in the numerical order as shown in the figure.
