Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or the crankshaft pulley. Due to the small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause the pan to be bent against the pump screen. This will result in a damaged oil pickup unit.
  1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to LIFTING AND JACKING THE VEHICLE in General Information.
  2. Remove the tire and wheel. Refer to TIRE AND WHEEL REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION in Tires and Wheels.
  3. Remove the wheelhouse panel from the vehicle. Refer to WHEELHOUSE PANEL REPLACEMENT in Body front End.
  4. For vehicles with 4WD, remove the front propeller shaft. Refer to PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACEMENT - ONE PIECE in Propeller Shaft.
    5. IMPORTANT: DO NOT raise and/or support the engine by the crankshaft balancer, or oil pan.
  5. Raise and suitably support the engine using adjustable (screw type) jack stands.
