Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.

Drain the cooling system.

Drain the engine oil.

Relieve the fuel system pressure.

Recover the A/C refrigerant.

Remove or disconnect the following:

Battery and tray
Air cleaner and hoses
Fuel line from the rail
Wiper module

Block off the heater hoses to the rear system by using pinch off pliers, if equipped.

NOTE
When the transaxle lines are removed from the fittings at the transaxle damage to the inner wall of the hose will occur. To prevent leakage, cut the cooler hoses off flush at the transaxle fitting and use a service cooler hose splice kit upon installation.

Install adapter tools on the right side of the engine block as illustrated

Power steering pump and set aside

Raise the vehicle enough to position dolly 6135, cradle tool 6710 with posts 6848 and adapter tool 6909 under vehicle.

Loosen the cradle posts to allow movement for proper positioning. Lower the vehicle and position the cradle/post mounts until the engine is resting on the posts and then tighten the mounts to the cradle frame to prevent mounts from moving when removing/installing the powertrain assembly.

Attach safety straps around the engine-to-cradle assembly. Lower the vehicle so the weight of the powertrain assembly, not the vehicle are on the cradle.

Remove or disconnect the following:

Engine right side mount-to-engine bolts
Left mount through bolt

Raise the vehicle away from the powertrain.

To install:

Lower the vehicle over the powertrain.

Align the engine and transmission mounts to their attaching points. Install and tighten the right mount and left transmission mounts as shown in the two accompanying illustrations.

Remove the safety straps and the dolly and adapters.

Install or connect the following:

Power steering pump and pressure line
