NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transaxle surface. When using different
type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1.

Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to 

EM-72, "2WD : Exploded View"

 (2WD models) or

EM-81, "AWD : Exploded View"

 (AWD models).

2.

Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand.
NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely use engine stand holding the surface, to
which transaxle is installed.
• Remove drive plate. Fix crankshaft pulley with the pulley holder (commercial service tool), and remove

mounting bolts.

• Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
• Check for deformation or damage drive plate.

CAUTION:

• Never disassemble drive plate.
• Never 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.

3.

Remove pilot converter using the pilot bushing puller (SST) if
necessary.

4.

Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto the widely use engine stand.

CAUTION:

Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [220 kg (485 lb) or more] large enough for supporting
the engine weight. 
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the

potential risk of overturning the stand.

- Remove intake manifold collector. Refer to 

EM-33, "Exploded View"

. 

- Remove intake manifold. Refer to 

EM-36, "Exploded View"

.

- Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to 

EM-49, "Exploded View"

.

- Remove ignition coil. Refer to 

EM-54, "Exploded View"

.

- Remove rocker cover. Refer to 

EM-54, "Exploded View"

.

- Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to 

EM-38, "Exploded View"

.

The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand (A)
that can hold mating surface of transaxle with drive plate

CAUTION:

Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.

5.

Drain engine oil. Refer to 

LU-9, "Draining"

.

6.

Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plugs (A) and (B)
from cylinder block both sides as shown in the figure.
