Engine Stand Setting: Setting

NOTE:

Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using a different type of engine stand, note the difference in the steps, etc.

  1. Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
  2. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely use engine stand.
    NOTE:

    The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely use engine stand holding the surface, to which transmission is installed.

    • Remove clutch cover and clutch disc. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW (M/T models).
    • Remove drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) with power tool. Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10118600 (J-48641)], and remove mounting bolts.
    • Loosen mounting bolts in diagonal order.
    • Check for deformation or damage of drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models).
      CAUTION:
      • Never disassemble drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models).
      • Never place drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) 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 (A/T models) using the pilot bushing puller [SST: ST16610001 (J - 23907)] (A) 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 EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Remove intake manifold. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Remove ignition coil. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Remove rocker cover. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .
      • Other removable brackets.
        NOTE:

        The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand (A) that can hold mating surface of transmission with drive plate (A/T models) or flywheel (M/T models) removed.
