Removal

^ Tools Required, or equivalent:
J28467-A Universal Support Fixture
J41044 Engine Support Adapters

CAUTION: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, crankshaft balancer, or any sheet metal. Due to small clearances between the oil pan and the oil pump screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause it to be bent against the pump screen, resulting in a damaged oil pickup unit. Jacking against the crankshaft balancer may also cause oil seal and/or crankshaft bearing damage. Always use a Universal Support Fixture along with Engine Support Adapters when raising or supporting the engine.

1. Measure engine movement at the engine mounts in order to check for damage to the rubber portions of the mount. Use the following procedure:
a. Apply the parking brake.
b. Start the engine.
c. Firmly apply primary brakes.
d. With an assistant observing engine movement, slightly load the engine in R (Reverse) and D (Drive). If the engine moves more than 24 mm (0.945 inches) from the at rest position, in either direction, check the engine mount attachment.
2. If the engine mount attachment is within specifications, replace the engine mount.
