Removal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Execute actions for a decompression of fuel system (see subsection 6.10) and disconnect the battery from weight.
2. Remove a cowl, the air filter and air ducts.
3. Merge liquid and oil from the engine and the check point.
	4. Accurately designate and disconnect from the engine all hoses, wires and cables, including kick cables - down - the mode and a cruise control. Muffle fuel hoses.
5. Remove a radiator (except the M40 engine), the fan (see subsection 4.6) and a casing.
6. Take off drive belts.
7. Remove the compressor, take aside and fix, without disconnecting from highways.
8. Remove a starter and the generator.
9. Remove the exhaust system (see subsection 7.1.1).
10. On the car from the automatic transmission remove fastening of the hydrotransformer to a drive plate. On the M40 engine turn off from the pallet of the union of tubes of a cooler of transmission liquid.
11. Fix for engine hooks a chain or таль. If hooks are removed, then the chain can be fixed for hairpins of the soaking-up collector, having laid a big washer and having tightened a nut.
12. Choose a weak point in a waist (chain).
13. On M10 and M20 engines remove a back cross-piece and slightly lower a back part of the check point.
14. Turn off bolts of fastening of the check point to the engine.
15. Turn off nuts of fastening of support of the engine to a stretcher. On M40 engines turn off bolts and remove dampers from support.
16. Make sure that all details connecting the engine to a body or transmission are removed. Designate all remained details and remove.
17. Slightly raise the engine and carefully give it forward and bring out of the check point. On the car from the automatic transmission track the hydrotransformer. If the hydrotransformer descends together with the engine, then remove it from the crankshaft, otherwise leave it on transmission. Lift the engine and bring out of a motor compartment.
Prevention If the hydrotransformer descends together with the engine, then at assembly replace a forward epiploon of transmission as it can be damaged.
	18. Remove a flywheel (drive plate) and a back intensifying plate.

Installation

Installation is carried out upside-down. From the automatic transmission before assembly install the hydrotransformer on the car at the check point, and then install on a drive plate. On the car from the manual transmission before assembly grease a sock of a main shaft of the check point with refractory lubricant. Fill the conditioner with coolant and check tightness of highways.
