| REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
| <<A>> TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY UPPER PART COUPLING BOLTS REMOVAL Do not fully unscrew the bolts from the engine and transmission assembly. Only loosen the bolts.
| <<B>> LOCKING NUT REMOVAL CAUTION Do not apply the vehicle weight on the wheel bearing while loosening the locking nuts. If you fail to do this, the wheel bearing will be broken.
| Use special tool end yoke holder MB990767 to fix the hub as shown in the illustration to remove the locking nut.
| <<C>> TIE ROD END CONNECTION CAUTION Do not remove the nut from ball joint. Loosen it and use the special tool to avoid possible damage to ball joint threads. Hang the special tool with cord to prevent it from falling.
| Install special tool ball joint remover (MB991897) as shown in the figure.
| Turn the bolt and knob as necessary to make the jaws of special tool parallel, tighten the bolt by hand and confirm that the jaws are still parallel. NOTE: When adjusting the jaws in parallel, make sure the knob is in the position shown in the figure. Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the tie rod end.
| <<D>> DRIVESHAFT/DRIVESHAFT AND INNER SHAFT ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
| Use the special tools to push the driveshaft or driveshaft and inner shaft assembly out from the hub. End yoke holder (MB990767) Axle shaft puller (MB990242)
| While pulling the lower side of the brake disc toward you, remove the driveshaft from the hub. CAUTION Always use a lever when pulling out the driveshaft from BJ assembly as tugging may damage the TTJ assembly. *TTJ: Tilt groove Tripod Joint Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the transmission is not damaged by the spline part of the driveshaft.
| Insert a lever between transmission case and the driveshaft, and then pull the driveshaft out from the transmission.
| If the inner shaft is fixed to transmission tightly, gently tap the bracket assembly with a plastic hammer to pull the inner shaft out from the transmission.
| Cover the transmission case with the special tool to prevent entry of the foreign materials.
| CAUTION Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing while loosening the driveshaft. If, however, the vehicle weight must be applied to the bearing (in order to move the vehicle), temporarily secure the wheel bearing by using the special tool. Spacer (MB991000) Front hub remover and installer (MB991017)
| <<E>> TORQUE CONVERTER AND DRIVE PLATE COUPLING BOLTS REMOVAL Remove the coupling bolts while turning the crankshaft. Push in the torque converter into the transmission side and make a point to ensure that the torque converter does not remain on the engine side.
| <<F>> ENGINE ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING
| <Engine hanger (special tool MB991895) is used> Set special tool MB991895 to the strut mounting nuts and the radiator support upper insulator mounting bolts, which are located in the engine compartment, as shown. Set special tools MB991454 to hold the engine/transmission assembly.
| <Engine hanger (special tool MB991928) is used> Assemble the engine hanger (special tool MB991928). Set following parts to the base hanger. Slide bracket (HI) Foot (standard) (MB991932) Joint (90) (MB991930) Joint (50) (MB991929)
| Set the engine hanger (special tool MB991928) to the strut mounting nuts and the radiator support upper insulator mounting bolts, which are located in the engine compartment, as shown. NOTE: Adjust the engine hanger balance by sliding the slide bracket (HI). Set special tools MB991454 to hold the engine/transmission assembly.
| INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
| >>A<< TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION Engage the torque converter into the transmission side securely, and then assemble the transmission assembly on the engine.
| >>B<< TRANSMISSION MOUNT STOPPER INSTALLATION
| Install the transmission mount stopper so that the arrow mark points vehicle upward.
| >>C<< DRIVESHAFT AND INNER SHAFT ASSEMBLY/DRIVESHAFT INSTALLATION CAUTION Care must be taken to ensure that the oil seal of the transmission is not damaged by the spline part of the driveshaft or driveshaft and inner shaft.
| >>D<< STABILIZER BAR INSTALLATION
| Install the stabilizer bar so that the protrusion of the stabilizer bar mounting bolt is within the standard value (A). Standard value (A): 22 ± 1.5 mm
| >>E<< LOCKING NUT INSTALLATION CAUTION Do not apply the vehicle weight on the wheel bearing before fully tightening the locking nuts. If you fail to do this, the wheel bearing will be broken.
| Incorporate the driveshaft washer as shown in the illustration. Use end yoke holder MB990767 to tighten the locking nuts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 245 ± 29 N·m
| >>F<< TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY UPPER PART COUPLING BOLTS INSTALLATION
| Tighten the harness clamp with the transmission assembly upper coupling bolt as shown in the illustration. NOTE: The bolt A should be tightened with earth line.
| >>G<< TRANSMISSION CONTROL CABLE/ADJUSTING NUT INSTALLATION Place the selector lever and manual control lever in the “N” position.
| Place the cable stud into the manual control lever slot and install the nut loosely. Gently push the transmission control cable into the manual control lever slot until the cable is taut. Tighten the nut to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 12 ± 2 N·m
