Warning

• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [L5].)

Caution

• Secure the steering wheel using tape or a cable to prevent the steering shaft from rotating after disconnecting the steering shaft. If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged.

Note

• Perform the engine and transaxle component removal/installation from below the vehicle.

Note

• Bolt C can be tightened on the nut side. When tightening on the nut side, tighten it according to the following tightening torque.

• The tightening torque when tightening from the bolt side is different than when doing it from the nut side because the amount of force required to tighten the bolt differs. These differences in force applied to the bolt are because of the differences in the surface treatment of the nut and bolt.
