Removal the auxiliary drive belt tensioner mechanism
On models without a shock absorber strut, unscrew the bolt and remove the auxiliary drive belt tensioner.
Location of auxiliary drive belt tensioner components on models with shock absorber strut mounted under tensioner
1 – lower shock absorber strut mounting bolt;
2 – tension mechanism bracket mounting bolts;
3 – central bolt of the tensioning mechanism
Location of auxiliary drive belt tensioner components on models with shock absorber strut mounted above tensioner
1 – tensioning mechanism unit; 2 – bolt securing the tensioning mechanism to the power steering pump bracket; 3 – bolts for fastening the tension mechanism bracket to the drive chain cover; 4 – central bolt of the tensioning mechanism
Location of the rear power steering pump and air conditioning compressor mounting bolts
Location of nuts (1) and brackets (2) securing the wiring harness casing
Location of the protective sheet between the rear of the cylinder head and the engine compartment bulkhead
1. Remove the gearbox.
2. Remove the lower engine splash shield.
3. Drain the engine oil from the engine.
4. Drain the coolant from the cooling system.
5. Remove the air filter.
6. Remove the radiator and radiator fan.
7. To prevent damage to the air conditioning condenser, cover the condenser with a sheet of cardboard.
8. At the front of the cylinder head, remove the nuts and disconnect the lines from the hydraulic pump of the self-leveling rear suspension system (see Fig. Attachment points for the pipes to the pump of the self-leveling rear suspension system).
9. On models with air conditioning, remove the accessory drive belt and disconnect the wires from the air conditioning compressor.
10. Mark the location and unscrew the drive belt tensioner components and remove them from the engine (see Fig. Removing the auxiliary drive belt tensioner, Location of auxiliary drive belt tensioner components on models with the shock absorber strut installed below the tensioner, Location of auxiliary drive belt tensioner components on models with the shock absorber strut installed above the tensioner).
11. On models without a shock absorber strut, unscrew the bolt and remove the tensioner mechanism.
12. On models with the shock absorber strut mounted under the tensioner, remove the bolt securing the lower end of the shock absorber strut and the two bolts securing the tensioner. Then remove the center bolt of the tensioner and remove the tensioner components.
13. On models with the shock absorber strut mounted above the tensioner, remove the power steering pump pulley and the tensioner pulley.
14. Unscrew the shock absorber strut from the tensioner bracket.
15. Unscrew the shock absorber strut from the generator bracket.
16. Remove the nut behind the bracket, then remove the two bolts securing the tensioner bracket to the drive chain cover.
17. Unscrew the central bolt of the tensioner mechanism, then remove the tensioner mechanism with the bracket.
18. Remove the pulley from the power steering pump.
19. Unscrew the rear bracket for mounting the power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and cylinder block and remove the bracket (see Fig. Location of rear power steering pump and air conditioning compressor mounting bolts).
20. Unscrew the power steering pump and move it to the side without disconnecting the hoses from it.
21. On models with air conditioning, remove the compressor mounting bolts and move the compressor to the side without disconnecting the hoses from the compressor.
22. If equipped, unscrew the pipe/hose connection support bracket from the front left corner of the cylinder head.
23. Disconnect the electrical wires from the generator.
24. Above the engine compartment bulkhead, unscrew the nuts, loosen the clamps and remove the wiring harness cover (see Fig. Location of nuts and brackets securing the wiring harness cover).
25. Disconnect the main wiring harness electrical connector located on the engine compartment bulkhead, remove the screws and remove the connector.
26. Disconnect the positive battery cable, then disconnect the wires from the terminals in the battery compartment, then remove the wires through the body panel into the engine compartment.
27. Label and disconnect all electrical connectors from engine components. Unscrew or disconnect all wires or wiring harnesses from mounting brackets or brackets on the engine.
28. Label and disconnect all vacuum hoses from the engine.
29. Disconnect the accelerator rod from the throttle lever.
30. Relieve pressure in the fuel system.
31. Loosen the union nuts, then disconnect the fuel feed and return lines from the carburetor/fuel distributor/fuel pressure regulator.
32. Loosen the clamp and remove the coolant supply hose to the heater from the left rear of the cylinder head.
33. Unscrew the union nut and remove the brake booster vacuum hose from the intake manifold.
34. Attach the engine to the lifting gear and lift it so that the weight of the engine is supported by the lifting gear.
35. Place a sheet of steel or cardboard between the rear of the cylinder head and the bulkhead to prevent damage when lifting the engine (see Fig. Location of the protective sheet between the rear of the cylinder head and the engine compartment bulkhead).
36. Finally, check that all hoses, pipes and electrical connectors are disconnected from the engine.
37. Working under the vehicle, unscrew the lower powertrain mount bolts on both sides of the engine.
38. Carefully remove the engine from the engine compartment. When removing the engine, tilt and rotate it if necessary so that it does not damage the engine compartment.
Installation
1. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following points.
2. When installing the engine, tilt and rotate it as necessary so that it fits into place without causing damage.
3. Tighten all mounting bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
4. Connect all hoses and electrical connectors to the engine according to the markings made earlier.
5. Connect and adjust the accelerator cable if necessary.
