Engine - Manual Transaxle: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING: Clutches and brakes contain asbestos fibers. Avoid breathing dust. Breathing asbestos dust may cause asbestosis and cancer.
WARNING: Dust and dirt present on wheel brake and clutch assemblies may contain asbestos fibers that are hazardous to your health when made airborne by cleaning with compressed air or by dry brushing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Wheel brake assemblies and clutch facings should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for use with asbestos fibers such as brake/clutch/service vacuum 164-R3600. Dust and dirt from vacuum should be disposed of in a manner that prevents dust exposure such as sealed bags. The bag must be labeled as per OSHA instructions and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's contents. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible, technicians should wear government approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Grinding or sanding on brake linings, pads, rotors, drums or clutch facings should be done only while using correctly exhaust-ventilated equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: OSHA requires areas where asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians concerned with carrying out brake or clutch repair should be present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
