ENGINE ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
●Position vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
●Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
●Do not remove engine until exhaust system has completely cooled off, otherwise, you may burn
yourself and/or fire may break out in fuel line.
●Before disconnecting fuel hose, release pressure.
Refer to EC-34 (WITH EURO-OBD), EC-428 (WITHOUT EURO-OBD).
●Be sure to lift engine and transaxle in a safe manner.
●For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
●When lifting engine, be sure to clear surrounding parts. Use special care near accelerator wire
casing, brake lines and brake master cylinder.
●When lifting the engine, always use engine slingers in a safe manner.
●When removing drive shaft, be careful not to damage grease seal of transaxle.
●Before separating engine and transaxle, remove crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the cylin-
der block assembly.
●Always be extra careful not to damage edge of crankshaft position sensor (POS), or signal plate
teeth.
Engine cannot be removed separately from transaxle. Remove engine with transaxle as an assembly.
REMOVAL
1. Drain coolant from radiator and cylinder block. Refer to LC-17, "Chacking Engine Coolant".
2. Remove coolant reservoir tank and bracket.
3. Drain engine oil.
4. Remove battery and battery tray.
5. Remove air cleaner and air duct.
6. Remove drive belts.
7. Remove alternator and air conditioner compressor from engine.
8. Remove power steering oil pump from engine and position aside.
Power steering oil pump does not need to be disconnected from power steering tubes.
9. Remove the following parts:
●RH and LH front tires
●Splash covers
●RH and LH brake caliper assemblies
Refer to BR-28,"Removal".
Brake hose does not need to be disconnected from brake
caliper assembly. Never depress brake pedal.
●RH & LH drive shaft. Refer to AX-11, "Removal".
When removing drive shaft, be careful not to damage
transaxle side grease seal.
●Disconnect control rod and support rod from transaxle. (M/T
models.)
Refer to MT-26, "Removal".
●Disconnect control cable from transaxle. (A/T models.)

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
Do not remove engine until exhaust system has com-
pletely cooled off. Otherwise, you may burn yourself
and/or fire may break out in fuel line.
For safety during subsequent steps, the tension of wires
should be slackened against the engine.
Before removing front axle from transaxle, place safety
stands under designated front supporting points. Refer to
GI-46, “Garage Jack and Safety Stand”.
Be sure to hoist engine and transaxle in a safe manner.
For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
When lifting engine, be careful not to strike adjacent parts,
especially the following: Accelerator wire casing, brake
lines, and brake master cylinder.
In hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
