REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> CVT ASSEMBLY HARNESS CONNECTOR DISCONNECTION

While pressing A in the figure, turn B anti-clockwise to unlock the CVT assembly connector, and disconnect the connector.

<<B>> TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY UPPER PART COUPLING BOLT REMOVAL
Only loosen the bolts from the engine and transmission assembly (do not remove).

<<C>> TORQUE CONVERTER AND DRIVE PLATE COUPLING BOLT REMOVAL
1.Remove the coupling bolts while turning the crankshaft.
2.Fully push the torque converter into the transmission side so that it does not remain on the engine side.

<<D>> TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BRACKET REMOVAL
1.Place a garage jack against the transmission case with a piece of wood in between to support the engine and transmission assembly.
2.Operate a garage jack so that the weight of the engine and transmission assembly is not applied to the transmission mounting insulator, and remove the transmission mounting bracket.

<<E>> ENGINE ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING

1.Remove the vacuum pipe assembly (Refer to GROUP 14, Water Hose and Water Pipe ), and install the engine hanger plate (special tool: MB992201) to the position as shown in the figure.


2.<When engine hanger (Special tool: MB991928) is used>
(1) Assemble the engine hanger (Special tool: MB991928). (Set the components below to the base hanger.)

  • Slide bracket (HI)
  • Foot x 4 (standard) (MB991932)
  • Joint x 2 (90) (MB991930)
(2) Set the feet of the special tool as shown in the figure.
note Adjust the engine hanger balance by sliding the slide bracket (HI).
(3) Set the chains of engine hanger plate (special tool: MB992201) to support the engine and transmission assembly. Remove the garage jack and then remove the transmission assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.


3.<When using engine mechanical hanger (Special tool: MB991895)>
(1) Set the foot of the engine mechanical hanger (Special tool: MB991895) as shown in the figure.
note Slide the front foot of the engine mechanical hanger (Special tool: MB991895) to balance the engine hanger.
(2) Set the chains of engine hanger plate (special tool: MB992201) to support the engine and transmission assembly. Remove the garage jack and then remove the transmission assembly upper part coupling bolts that have been loosened previously.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
