Lotus Service Notes
Section EH 13. Fit two engine lifting brackets T000T1437S to the left hand front and right hand rear of the cylinder head. Sling support the power unit before releasing the RH and LH engine mounting brackets. 17. Carefully hoist the power unit from the car, whilst monitoring for any remaining connections.
Refit the unit in reverse order to removal with the following notes: - Before re-fitting a driveshaft, first renew the round section circlip on the end of the left hand inboard joint spigot shaft, and lubricate the circlip with grease. Also, check the condition of the transmission output seal, and renew if necessary. Lubricate the lip of the seal with transmission oil, and grease the corresponding shoulder on the driveshaft (C.V. joint) spigot, to reduce the danger of damaging the seal on assembly. - Carefully insert the driveshaft into the transmission, with, on the left hand shaft, the two ends of the circlip positioned lowermost, and rotate the shaft if necessary to engage the splines. Press the inboard joint outer until a click indicates the engagement of the retaining circlip, if necessary using a brass drift and hammer. Pull on the body to ensure its security. On the right hand shaft, fit the bolts securing the extension shaft bearing to the engine mounted bracket, and torque to 64 Nm. - Refer to section DH for rear suspension assembly details. - For coolant refilling procedure, refer to section KH. - For transmission details and gear cable adjustment, refer to section FJ.
