●

Place the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

●

Place wheel chocks at the front and back of the rear wheels.

●

Do not remove the engine until the exhaust system has completely cooled off. Otherwise, you may
burn yourself and/or fire may break out in the fuel line.

●

For safety, the tension of wires should be loosened against the engine.

●

Before disconnecting a fuel hose, release the fuel pressure from the fuel line. Refer to 

EC-616,

"FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"

  (VG33E), 

EC-1218, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"

  (VG33ER).

●

Before removing the front axle from the transmission, place safety stands under the designated
front supporting points. Refer to 

GI-37, "Lifting Points"

 .

●

Raise the engine and transmission in a safe manner.

●

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach the appropriate slingers and bolts as
described in the PARTS CATALOG.

CAUTION:

●

When lifting engine, be careful not to strike adjacent parts, especially accelerator wire casing,
brake lines, and brake master cylinder.

●

In hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a safe manner.

●

Before separating engine and transmission, remove crankshaft position sensor (OBD) from the
assembly.

●

Always take extra care not to damage edge of crankshaft position sensor (OBD), or ring gear
teeth.

●

Do not loosen front engine mounting insulator cover
mounting nuts. When cover is removed, damper oil flows
