WARNING:
 Situate the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
 Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
 For engines not equipped with en
gine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS
CATALOG.
CAUTION:
 Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
 Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
 If items or work required are no t covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
 Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
 Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at rear axle jacking point with 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-37, "
Garage Jack and
Safety Stand".

 Make sure that all connection
points have been disconnected.
 Keep in mind the center of vehicle gravity cha nges. If necessary, use jack(s) to support the vehi-
cle at rear jacking point(s) to preven t it from falling it off the lift.
Separation Work
1. Install engine slingers into front of cylinder head (right bank) and
rear of cylinder head (left bank).
 To protect rocker cover against damage caused by tilting ofengine slinger, insert spacer between cylinder head and
engine rear lower slinger, in direction shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Spacer is a component part of engine rear upper slinger
assembly.
2. Remove power steering oil pump from engine side. Refer to PS-27, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
3. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) under side nuts with power tool.
4. Lift with hoist and separate the engine and the trans mission assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
 Before and during this lifting, always make sure that any harnesses are left connected.
 Avoid damage to and oil/grease smearing or spills onto engine mounting insulator.
5. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-19, "
System Description".
6. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-8, "
System Description".
7. Separate the engine from the transmission assembly. Refer to AT-241, "
Removal and Installation (2WD
Models)".
8. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from the engine with power tool.
9. Remove rear engine mounting member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from the transmission assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
 Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no oil gets on it.
 For a location with a positioning pin, insert it securely into hole of mating part.
 For a part with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-112, "
Component (2WD
Models)".

Precaution for Procedur e without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000001612933
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
General PrecautionINFOID:0000000001325654
 Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or ot her enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
 Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
 When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran- saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
 Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
 If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of radio and each control unit is erased.
 Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
