Engine Stand Setting: Setting
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using different type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
- Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to , "2WD : EXPLODED VIEW " or , "AWD : EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to 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). Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) with power tool. Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10118600 (J-48641)], and remove mounting bolts.
- Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
- Check for deformation or damage drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models).
CAUTION:- Do not 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.
- Remove pilot converter (A/T models) using the pilot bushing puller [SST: ST1661001 (J-23907)] (A) as necessary.
- 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 (441 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 intake manifold collector. Refer to , "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove intake manifold. Refer to , "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to , "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove ignition coil. Refer to , "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove rocker cover. Refer to , "EXPLODED VIEW ".
- Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to , "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, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
- Drain engine oil. Refer to "INSPECTION ".
- Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs (1) and (4) from cylinder block both sides as shown in the figure.
