REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

>A< TRANSAXLE MOUNTING REMOVAL
Jack up the transaxle assembly gently with a garage jack, and then remove the transaxle mounting.

CAUTION: When jacking up the transaxle assembly, support it over a wide area so force is not applied to only one part of it.

>B< ENGINE ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING




Set the special tool to the vehicle to support the engine assembly.

>C< TIE ROD END REMOVAL

CAUTION:
1. Loosen the nut only, don't remove it from the tie rod end.

2. Fix the special tool at the strut, etc. by a cord in order to avoid dropping it.

>D< LATERAL LOWER ARM REMOVAL

CAUTION:

1. Loosen the nut only, do not remove it from the ball joint.

2. The special tool should be suspended by a cord to prevent it from coming off.

>E< COMPRESSION LOWER ARM REMOVAL

2. Fix the special tool at the strut, etc. by a cord in order to avoid dropping it.

>F< DRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL




1. Insert a lever between the transaxle case and the drive shaft to remove the drive shaft.

NOTE: The drive shaft should be removed with the hub and knuckle still attached.

CAUTION:
1. When the drive shaft is removed from the B.J. assembly, there is a danger that the T.J. assembly may be damaged, so always be sure to use a lever.
2. Do not insert the lever too far, as it may cause damage to the oil seal.




2. Suspend the removed drive shaft with wire so that there are no sharp bends in any of the joints.
3. Turn the right side of the drive shaft 90° toward the front of the vehicle so that it will not be a hindrance.




4. Use the special tool to cover the transaxle case to prevent foreign materials from getting into the transaxle case.

>G< CLUTCH RELEASE CYLINDER REMOVAL
Remove the clutch release cylinder without disconnecting the oil line connection, and fix it to the vehicle chassis.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

DRIVE SHAFT INSTALLATION

Provisionally install the drive shaft so that the TJ case of the drive shaft is straight, and not bent relative to the transaxle.

CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal lip part of the transaxle is not damaged by the serrated part of the drive shaft.
