  3. REMOVE FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM ASSEMBLY LH


    1. B006F20

      Remove the clip and nut.

    2. Install 2 SST (spacer A) onto the front lower suspension arm assembly LH so that there is a space of approximately 1 mm (0.0394 in.) between the arm and spacers.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02050 )
      B006AB4C01
      *a SST (Spacer A) *b 1 mm (0.0394 in.)
      *c Spacer *d Center Nut
      *e Body *f Claw
      *g Parallel *h String

      Note


      • Make sure to install the spacers (SST spacer A) as the steering knuckle spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or less.

    3. Using SST, disconnect the front lower suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.

      SST
      09960-20010   ( 09961-02010 )

      Note


      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and claw are parallel.

      • Make sure to tie the string of SST to the vehicle to prevent SST from dropping.

  7. REMOVE NO. 2 ENGINE UNDER COVER ASSEMBLY


    1. B006BZIC01
      B006AHR Bolt
      B006EC9 Screw

      Remove the 10 bolts, 4 screws, clip and No. 2 engine under cover assembly.

  8. REMOVE ENGINE SIDE COVER LH


    1. B006GH3

      Disconnect the clamp and 4 clips and remove the engine side cover LH.

  9. REMOVE REAR LOWER ARM MOUNTING REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY LH

  12. DISCONNECT FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER ASSEMBLY LH (w/o Air Suspension)


    1. B006FMTC01
      B006AHR Bolt
      B006EC9 Nut

      Remove the bolt and nut, and separate the front shock absorber assembly LH from the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH.

      Note

      Because the nut has its own stopper, do not turn the nut. Loosen the bolt with the nut secured.

      B006D1CC01
      *a 2 mm (0.0787 in.) - -

      Note


      • Make sure to install the attachment (SST attachment) as the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH spacer may shift.

      • As SST may become damaged, make sure the space between the arm and spacers is not 2 mm (0.0787 in.) or less.

    4. Using SST, disconnect the lower No. 2 suspension arm assembly LH from the steering knuckle assembly LH.

      SST
      09628-50010   ( 09628-05010 )

      Note


      • Apply molybdenum grease to the bolt threads and end of the SST bolt.

      • Do not damage the dust cover.

      • As the dust cover may be damaged, adjust SST with the center nut so that the body and crow are parallel.

      • Do not apply a torque of 160 N*m (1631 kgf*cm, 118 ft.*lbf) or more to SST as it may be damaged.
