DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separa te front suspension member, transmission and front
final drive from engine. Refer to EM-237, "
Component".
2. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand. NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use wi dely use engine holding the surface, to which trans-
mission is installed.
a. Remove drive plate.  Holding ring gear with ring gear stopper (SST).
 Loosen mounting bolts diagonally order.
CAUTION:
 Do not disassemble drive plate.
 Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
 When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or scratch it.
 Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.
b. Remove engine rear plate.
3. Lift engine with hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand. CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240 kg ( 529 lb) or more] large enough for
supporting the engine weight.
 If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remo ve the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten-
tial risk of overturning stand.
- Intake manifolds (upper and lower): Refer to EM-175, "
Component".
- Exhaust manifold: Refer to EM-179, "
Component".
- Fuel tube and fuel injector assembly: Refer to EM-190, "
Component".

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (VK45DE ENGINE)
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT".
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001328912
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterINFOID:0000000001328913
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning between replacement intervals. Refer to MA-5.
1. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case and mass air flow sensor assembly. Refer to EM-173
.
2. Remove air cleaner filter from air cleaner case.
Changing Engine OilINFOID:0000000001328914
WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as engine oil may be hot.
 Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause ski n cancer. Try to avoid direct skin
contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
1. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
2. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer
to LU-23, "
Inspection".
3. Stop engine and wait for 15 minutes.
4. Loosen oil filler cap, and then remove drain plug.
5. Drain engine oil.
6. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer to EM-183
.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
7. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-9
.
