FAX-22, "Exploded View (LH)"

 (2WD models), 

FAX-24,

"Exploded View (RH)"

 (2WD models) or 

FAX-60, "Exploded View (LH)"

 (4WD models), 

FAX-62,

"Exploded View (RH)"

 (4WD models).

NOTE:
Cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.

9.

Remove rear torque rod.

10. Remove stabilizer connecting rod. Refer to 

FSU-17, "Exploded View"

.

11. Remove front suspension member. Refer to 

FSU-20, "Exploded View"

.

12. Preparation for the separation work of transaxle is as follows:

• Remove transaxle joint bolts which pierce at oil pan (upper) lower rear side. Refer to 

EM-218, "Exploded

View"

.

Removal

1.

Use a manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiv-
alently rigid tool such as a transmission jack. Securely support
bottom of the engine and the transaxle assembly.

CAUTION:

Put a piece of wood or an equivalent as the supporting sur-
face, secure a completely stable condition.

2.

Remove engine mounting bolts on engine mounting insulator (RH). 
• Loosen mounting bolts in the reverse order as shown in the

figure.

3.

Remove engine mounting insulator (LH) mounting nut 

 to the

transaxle.

4.

Carefully lower jack, or raise lift to remove the engine and the
transaxle assembly. When performing work, observe the follow-
ing caution.

CAUTION:

• Check that no part interferes with the vehicle side.
• Before and during this lifting, always check if any har-

nesses are left connected.

• During the removal, always be careful to prevent the vehi-

cle from falling off the lift due to changes in the center of
gravity.

• If necessary, support the vehicle by setting jack or suitable tool at the rear.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

Separation

1.

Install engine slinger to front cover front left side 

 and cylinder

head rear right side 

.

2.

Remove starter motor. Refer to 

STR-25, "MR20DD : Exploded View"

.

3.

Lift with a hoist and separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to 

TM-35, "Exploded View"

(6MT models) or 

TM-415, "Exploded View"

 (CVT models).

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• Never allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mount-

ing insulator.

• Check that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting nuts and bolts.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010715491

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Inspection for Leakage

The following are procedures for checking fluids leakage, lubricates leakage, and exhaust gases leakage.
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-59, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.

- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to check there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the

specified level, if necessary.

Summary of the inspection items:

*: Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

INFOID:0000000010715492

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transaxle surface. When using different
type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1.

Remove the engine and the transaxle assembly from the vehicle, and separate the transaxle from the
engine. Refer to 

TM-35, "Exploded View"

 (MT models) or 

TM-415, "Exploded View"

 (CVT models).

2.

Install engine to engine stand with the following procedure:

a.

Remove flywheel or drive plate. Refer to 

EM-178, "Exploded View"

 or 

EM-181, "Exploded View"

.

b.

Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.

CAUTION:

• Use the engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 135 kg (298 lb) or more] large

enough for supporting the engine weight. 

• If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten-

tial risk of overturning stand.

- Intake manifold: Refer to 

EM-149, "Exploded View"

. 

- Exhaust manifold: Refer to 

EM-153, "Exploded View"

.

NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand 
that can support mating surface of transaxle with drive plate
removed.

CAUTION:

Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.

3.

Drain engine oil. Refer to 

LU-23, "Draining"

.

CAUTION:

Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new drain plug washer.

4.

Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug 

 from

inside of the engine. 

Use Genuine Liquid Gasket (Three Bond 1217H) or equiva-
lent.
