Removal and installation (FWD)

WARNING:

•  Situate the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
•  Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
•  Attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG if engine slingers are not equipped.

CAUTION:

•  Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
•  Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant is cool enough.
•  If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
•  Always use the support point specified for lifting.
•  Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
•  For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-29, "Garage Jack and Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift".

NOTE: When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.

Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants" (United States and Canada).
•  Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
•  Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
•  Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
•  Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

  NOTE: If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

•  Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there are no leaks of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
•  Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
•  After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to specified level, if necessary.
•  Summary of the inspection items:

*: Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
