- REMOVE STARTER ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [10/2018 - 07/2022]
- REMOVE FLYWHEEL HOUSING SIDE COVER
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 44
- REMOVE ENGINE ASSEMBLY
- Remove the 8 bolts and engine assembly from the continuously variable transaxle assembly.NOTE:
To prevent damage to the 2 knock pins, do not pry between the continuously variable transaxle assembly and engine assembly.
HINT:
- Bolt (A), (B): Remove from continuously variable transaxle assembly side.
- Bolt (C): Remove from engine assembly side.
- Remove the 8 bolts and engine assembly from the continuously variable transaxle assembly.
- REMOVE TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
- REMOVE CVT TYPE T OIL SEAL NOTE:
- Do not remove the stator shaft assembly from the CVT main body, as there is a possibility of the entry of dust and foreign matter.
- Clean the work area, the tools to be used, and other equipment, etc. thoroughly before the operation, as there is the possibility that a CVT malfunction, which could prevent the vehicle from being able to be driven, could occur if dust or fine foreign matter enters the CVT.
- Do not use cotton work gloves, cloths, or paper towels, etc. that may produce lint, dust or foreign matter.
- Perform the operation as quickly as possible, as dust and foreign matter could enter the CVT while the torque converter assembly is removed.
- Do not use an air gun until the torque converter assembly has been installed, as it could cause dust and foreign matter to be stirred up.
- Clean the tips of both the claws of SST and the center bolt.
- SST: 09308-10010
- Using SST, remove the CVT type T oil seal.NOTE:
Pay attention to the angle of the claws when opening them, and ensure that they do not come into contact with the transaxle housing, as there is the possibility that metal particles could be produced if they do.
