Warning
•  The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism. However, if the rear differential is tilted, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. This could cause the rear differential to rotate accidentally, resulting in injury. Therefore, make sure that the rear differential is not tilted when it is on the engine stand. When turning the rear differential, grasp the rotation handle firmly.

1.  Disassemble in the order shown in the figure.
