REMOVE REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER SUB-ASSEMBLY
REMOVE REAR TRACTION MOTOR WITH TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
Using an engine sling device and chain block, hold the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
As the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly is heavy, hold it securely using an engine sling device and chain block.
Note
When removing the 2 bolts on the differential mount cushion side of the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly, make sure to hold the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly securely to prevent it from dropping.
Lightly shake the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly by hand to make sure it is securely held while performing work.
Do not shake the rear traction motor with transaxle assembly excessively while holding it.

Using SST, remove the differential mount cushion.
Note
Before using SST, apply grease to SST bolts.
Tighten the 2 bolts of SST so that they enter the 2 holes of the differential mount cushion by an equal amount.
Do not tilt the bolts of SST.
Tighten SST until differential mounting cushion and rear suspension member sub-assembly disengage.
