CAUTION:
Use engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately
220 kg (441 lb) or more] large enough for supporting the
engine weight.
NOTE:
This example is engine stand for holding at transaxle mount-
ing side with drive plate removed.
5. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-21, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
6. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs from cylin-
der block both sides at “A” and “D” and cylinder block front side
at “B” as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Water drain plug at the right bank side for VQ35DE is also used
as a connector of water pipe for oil cooler. Refer to LU-23, "
OIL
COOLER (VQ35DE)" .
7. Remove drive plate. Fix crankshaft pulley with pulley holder [SST: KV10109300], and remove mounting
bolts.

Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal 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.
8. Remove cylinder head. Refer to EM-210, "
CYLINDER HEAD" .
9. Remove knock sensor.

lay it out to rear of engine.
CAUTION:

Do not tighten mounting bolt while holding connector.

If any impact by dropping is applied to knock sensor,
replace it with new one.
NOTE:

Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.

Make sure that knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.
20. Note the following, assemble in the reverse order of disassembly after this step.
Drive plate

WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Pre-
cautions" .
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than
the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel
from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the fig-
ure or below.
NOTE:
Because fuel will be spilled when removing fuel level sensor unit
for the top of fuel is above the fuel level sensor unit installation
surface.

As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the
figure or below when approximately 10 (2-1/4 Imp gal) of
fuel are drained from fuel tank.

In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the follow-
ing procedure.
a. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw
fuel from fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-8, "
FUEL TANK" .
c. Insert hose into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel from fuel tank.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-49, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (QR20DE
), or EC-392, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ23DE and VQ35DE).
3. Open fuel filler lid.
4. Open fuel filler cap and release the pressure inside fuel tank.
5. Remove rear seat cushion. Refer to SE-112, "
REAR SEAT" .
