ENGINE STAND SETTING

Setting

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transaxle surface. When using different type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1.Remove the engine and the transaxle assembly from the vehicle, and separate the transaxle from the engine. Exploded View.
2.Install engine to engine stand with the following procedure:
a.Remove drive plate.





- Secure drive plate with a stopper plate and use a suitable tool to remove mounting bolts.
Drive plate: Size E20

CAUTION:
- Never disassemble them.
- Never place them with signal plate facing down.
- When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch them.
- Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents them from becoming magnetized.
NOTE:
The flywheel, two block construction, allows movement in response to transaxle side pressure, or when twisted in its rotation direction. Therefore, some amount of noise is normal.





b.Remove pilot converter using pilot bushing puller (SST) or suitable tool.
c.Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.

CAUTION:
- Use the engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 135 kg (298 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the engine weight.
- If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the potential risk of overturning stand.
- Intake manifold: Exploded View.
- Exhaust manifold: Exploded View.
- Rocker cover: Exploded View.
NOTE:





The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support mating surface of transaxle with drive plate removed.

CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
3.Drain engine oil. Draining.

CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.





4.Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug from inside of the engine.
