5A-124 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: 

15) Compress clutch balancer No.1 and forward clutch 

return spring (1) until the clutch balancer No.1 is 
lowered to the place 1 – 2 mm (0.039 – 0.078 in.) 
from the snap ring groove by using special tool and 
hydraulic press, and then remove snap ring (2).

CAUTION

!

 

Be careful when applying pressure, for 
overpressure will cause forward clutch return 
spring to deform.

 

NOTE
