REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
   
  1. Securely insert the spindle handle or ratchet handle with a 12.7 mm insertion angle into the jig hole of the auto-tensioner.
  1. Rotate the auto-tensioner anti-clockwise and align hole A with hole B.
     CAUTION
    To reuse the drive belt, draw an arrow indicating the rotating direction (clockwise) on the back of the belt using chalk, etc.
   
  1. Insert an L-shaped hexagon wrench, etc. into the hole to fix and then remove the drive belt.
   
  1. Remove the fuel high-pressure hose stopper.
       
    1. Remove the fuel high-pressure hose in the direction shown in the figure while the retainer is pulled up.
    2. NOTE: If the retainer is released, install it after removing the fuel high-pressure hose.
       
    1. Pre-tighten the 2 bolts on the car to assemble the radiator support upper insulator to set special tool engine hanger MB991895 or engine hanger MB991928.
    1. Remove the transmission assembly (Refer to GROUP 23A, Transmission Assembly ).
       
      1. <Special tool engine hanger (MB991895) is used>
        1. Remove special tool MB991895.
         
        1. <Special tool engine hanger (MB991928) is used>
