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.
1. Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to (2WD models) or Exploded View (AWD models).
2. Remove crankshaft pulley. Refer to Service and Repair.

NOTE:
The drive plate is fixed with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10118600 (J-48641)]. Loosen the crankshaft pulley mounting bolts before installing the engine stand.
3. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely use engine stand.
- Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10118600 (J-48641)]. Loosen drive plate mounting bolt with power tool.
- Check for deformation or damage of drive plate. Refer to Exploded View.

NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely use engine stand holding the surface, to which transmission is installed.





4. Remove pilot converter using the pilot bushing puller [SST:
ST16610001 (J-23907)] (A), if necessary.
5. 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 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 and 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 removed.






CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
6. Drain engine oil. Refer to Draining.
7. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs (1) and (4) from cylinder block both sides as shown in the figure.
