id0510008003c4

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.

•  When newly replacing the clutch cover or the clutch disc, replace the clutch cover and the clutch disc as a set.

1.  Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY RECHARGING [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY RECHARGING [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

3.  Drain the engine coolant. (See ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT [MZR-CD 2.2].)

4.  Remove the PCM cover No.1. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

5.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

6.  Remove the following parts:

(1)  Battery tray and PCM component (See BATTERY RECHARGING [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

(2)  Air cleaner component (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

(3)  Charge air cooler cover (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

(4)  Charge air cooler (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)

Warning

•  Improperly jacking a transaxle is dangerous. It can slip off the jack and may cause serious injury.

Note

•  If the transaxle is overhauled and installed to the vehicle, perform the 'INSPECTION AFTER TRANSAXLE OVERHAUL' and verify that there is no abnormality. (See INSPECTION AFTER TRANSAXLE INSTALLATION [A26M-R].)
