- Recover the refrigerant and then remove the high pressure pipe (A) and low pressure pipe (B). (Refer to "ELECTRIC A/C COMPRESSOR ")
- Disconnect the ECM connectors (A) from the ECM, the fuse box connector (B) from the fuse/relay box and the engine ground line (C). Then remove the wiring protector (D).
- Disconnect the cooling hoses from HSG (Hybrid starter generator) (A) and EWP (Electric water pump) (B).
- Remove the transaxle wire harness connectors and control cable from the transaxle. (Refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE CONTROL SYSTEM - HEV ).
- Disconnect the heater hoses (A).
- Disconnect the fuel hose (A) and the PCSV (Purge control solenoid valve) hose (B).
- Remove the front muffler (A).
- Remove the steering u-joint mounting bolt (A). (Refer to ELECTRIC POWER STEERING - HEV )
- Remove the front wheels. (Refer to "WHEEL ")
- Remove the lower arms (A). (Refer to "FRONT LOWER ARM ")
- Remove the stabilizer bar links (A). (Refer to "FRONT STABILIZER BAR ")
- Remove the tie rod ends (A). (Refer to "STEERING GEAR BOX ")
- Disconnect the drive shafts (A) from the axle hubs. (Refer to "FRONT HUB/KNUCKLE ")
