REMOVE NO. 1 ENGINE COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY
Lift the rear of the engine cover to detach the cover from the 2 pins, and then lift the front of the engine cover to detach the cover from the pin and remove the engine cover.
Note
Attempting to disengage both front and rear clips at the same time may cause the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly to break.
REMOVE AIR CLEANER CAP SUB-ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the vacuum switching valve assembly from the air cleaner hose.
Disconnect the mass air flow meter connector and 2 wire harness clamps from the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.
Separate the fuel vapor feed hose from the air cleaner hose.
Disconnect the ventilation hose from the cylinder head cover.
Loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the air cleaner hose from the throttle with motor body assembly.
Release the 2 clamps and remove the air cleaner cap sub-assembly.

|
Pinch |
|
Pull |
Pinch the retainer of the fuel tube connector, and then pull the fuel tube connector off of the fuel pipe.
Note
Be sure to disconnect the fuel tube connector by hand.
If the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe are stuck, push and pull the fuel tube connector to release it. Pull the fuel tube connector off of the fuel pipe carefully.
Note
Be sure to disconnect the fuel tube connector by hand.
Do not allow any scratches or foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the fuel pipe.
Do not forcibly bend, twist or turn the nylon tube.
Check if there is any foreign matter on the sealing surfaces of the disconnected fuel lines. Clean them if necessary.
Cover the disconnected fuel pipe and fuel tube connector with plastic bags to prevent damage and contamination.
