Use the correct supporting points for lifting and jacking. In removing the drive shaft, be careful not
to damage the grease seals on the transaxle. Before separating the engine and transaxle,
remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS) from the assembly.
Be sure not to damage the edge of the crankshaft position sensor (POS) or the ring gear teeth.

INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Do not allow oil to get on mounting insulators. Be careful not to damage mounting insulators.
If parts have a direction mark (arrow) this indicates front of the vehicle, and the parts must be
installed according to the identification mark.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, lubricants, engine oil. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of coolant, lubricants, oil, fuel, and
exhaust gas.
Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines.
