Procedure

• With the lock carrier installed, the engine is removed downward with the transmission.
• During installation, all cable ties must be installed at the same location.
• During installation, all heat shield boots must be installed at the same location.
• Follow the guidelines for clean working conditions. Refer to GUIDELINES FOR CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS .
• All suspension component bolts with bonded rubber bushings on vehicles with coil spring in the curb weight position (unloaded condition) or in the control position on vehicles with air suspension must be tightened.
• Bonded rubber bushings have a limited range of rotation. Axle components with bonded rubber bushings must be brought into the position they will be in when driving before they are tightened (curb weight position or control position). Otherwise, the bonded rubber bushing will be under stress, which will reduce the service life.

-- Before starting the procedures, determine the curb weight position (refer to WHEEL BEARING IN CURB WEIGHT POSITION, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH COIL SPRING or determine the control position (refer to WHEEL BEARING AT STANDARD VEHICLE HEIGHT, LIFTING VEHICLES WITH AIR SUSPENSION ).
