WARNING:
Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
For engines not equipped with engine 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 cooled sufficiently.
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-point lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons,
support at the 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-41, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .
REMOVAL
Preparation
1. Drain the engine coolant. Refer to CO-11, "DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
2. Partially drain the A/T fluid. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)" .

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
2006 QX56
Loosen the bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especially
avoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
Place the drive plate with the signal plate surface fac-
ing other than downward.
Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
–Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-31, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-17, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-28, "Removal and Installation" .
–Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-35, "Removal and Installation" .
–Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
31. Remove the alternator. Refer to SC-25, "
REMOVAL" .
32. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at the connection points.
Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.

Exhaust System
CAUTION:
Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.
Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled. The system will be hot just after the
engine stops.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.

2006 QX56
REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.
Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.
If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.
Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration. Tool number
