A WORD ABOUT SAFETY
The following precautions must be followed when jacking up
the vehicle.
1. Block the wheels.
2. Use only the specified jacking positions.
3. Support the vehicle with safety stands.
Start the engine only after making certain the engine compart-
ment is clear of tools and people.
PREPARATION OF TOOLS AND MEASURING
EQUIPMENT
Be sure that all necessary tools and measuring equipment are
available before starting any work.
SPECIAL TOOLS
Use special tools when they are required.
REMOVAL OF PARTS
While correcting a problem, try also to determine its cause.
Begin work only after first learning which parts and subassem-
blies must be removed and disassembled for replacement or
repair.
DISASSEMBLY
If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring many parts
to be disassembled, all parts should be disassembled in a way
that will not affect their performance or external appearance
and identified so that reassembly can be performed easily and
efficiently.
