PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
When the transaxle is removed, be sure to use a new clutch release cylinder with bearing assembly and new installation bolts. Removal of the transaxle allows the compressed clutch release cylinder with bearing assembly to return to its original position, and dust from the moving section could damage the seal of the clutch release cylinder with bearing assembly, possibly causing clutch fluid leaks.
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work.
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

| *1 | Suction Tube Sub-assembly B |
| *2 | Liquid Tube Sub-assembly A |
Remove the bolt.
Disengage the 4 clamps to separate the suction tube sub-assembly B and the liquid tube sub-assembly A.
Remove the hood support rod.
Install the 2 nuts to the front suspension upper brace bracket in order to set the sub beam of the SST in place.
Tech Tips
Use the nut for securing the front suspension upper center brace sub-assembly in place.
Install SST to the vehicle body as shown in the illustration.
| *a | Support Shaft | *b | Front Side Member |
| *c | Front Suspension Nut | *d | Pieces of Cloth |
| *e | Sub Beam | - | - |
Note
Prevent SST from contacting the vehicle body exterior and windshield glass.
To prevent damage to the engine hood, place pieces of cloth between the engine hood and SST.
Lightly shake SST by hand to make sure it is securely installed before performing work.
| *a | Support Shaft |
| *b | Sub Beam |
| *c | Front Side Member |
| *d | Threaded Portion |
Turn the threaded portion of each support shaft to adjust its height until the sub beams are parallel to the ground.
Install the chain block to the sling bracket.
| *a | Chain Block | *b | Sling Bracket |
| *c | Fuse Shackle | *d | Shackle (A) |
| *e | Division Bar | - | - |
Install the division bar to the chain block with the shackles.
Connect the division bar to the alternator tensioner bracket with the shackle (A) and chain.
| *1 | Alternator Tensioner Bracket | *2 | Engine Hanger |
| *a | Division Bar | *b | Shackle (A) |
| *c | Chain | - | - |
Connect the division bar to the engine hanger with the shackle (A) and chain.
Note
Connect the 2nd link of the chain to the engine hanger.
| *a | 120 mm (4.72 in.) or more |
Make sure the distance between the chain block assembly and suspension ring is 120 mm (4.72 in.) or more.
Tech Tips
If the suspension height is less than 120 mm, adjust the links of the chain which connect the division bar and engine hanger.
Adjust the positions of the chain block assembly, support brackets and main beam so that the chain of the chain block assembly is perpendicular to the main beam and the length of the main beam on the outer side of the support bracket LH and RH is the same as shown in the illustration.
| *a | Chain Block | *b | Main Beam |
| *c | Support Bracket | *d | Dimension (A) |
| *e | Dimension (B) | *f | Right to Left Adjustment |
| *g | Front to Rear Adjustment | - | - |
Note
If the chain of the chain block is tilted, do not perform work.
If the engine mount is removed with the chain of the chain block tilted, the engine assembly with transaxle may interfere with the vehicle.
Confirm the appropriate installation state of the engine support bridge and tighten the 6 wing bolts and 2 bolts.
| *a | Wing Bolt | *b | Bolt |
CAUTION:
Do not perform any procedures before tightening the bolts to the specified torque.
Performing procedures without tightening the bolts to the specified torque, may cause the engine support bridge to fall.
| *a | Turn |
Tighten the chain block assembly until it cannot be moved any further by hand.
