14. REMOVE CVT OIL PUMP TYPE T OIL SEAL

    Note

    
    

    • Do not remove the front oil pump assembly from the CVT main body, as there is the possibility of the entry of dust and foreign matter.

    • Clean the work area, the tools to be used, and other equipment, etc. thoroughly before the operation, as there is the possibility that a CVT malfunction, which could prevent the vehicle from running, could occur if dust or fine foreign matter enters the CVT.

    • Do not use cotton work gloves, cloths, or paper towels, etc. that may produce lint, etc.

    • Perform the operation as quickly as possible, as dust and foreign matter could enter the CVT while the torque convertor is not attached to it.

    • Do not use the air gun until the torque convertor has been installed, as it could cause dust and foreign matter to be stirred up.

    
    

    1. 

       Clean the tips of both the claws of SST and the center bolt.

    2. Using SST, remove the CVT oil pump type T oil seal.

       Note

       Pay attention to the angle of the claws when opening them, and ensure that they do not come into contact with the oil pump housing, as there is the possibility that metal particles could be produced if they do.
