    Tightening torque

  • 33???53 N·m {3.4???5.4 kgf·m, 25???39 ft·lbf}

12. Install the SST (49 E017 5A0) to the SST (49 UN30 3050) and engine hanger, then set them as shown in the figure.

NOTE:

  • Use 2 shafts as shown in the figure to lift up the engine on the left and right sides equally.

13. Rotate the shaft of the SST (49 E017 5A0) to support the engine.

14. Lift up the engine until the engine mount rubber is slightly raised above the front crossmember and verify again that the engine is securely hung.

15. Push the position shown in the figure and move the engine toward the left side of the vehicle.

NOTE:

  • The exhaust manifold can be removed by securing a space for removal. Therefore, the procedure is divided into one person moving the engine and one person removing the exhaust manifold.

16. Remove the exhaust manifold.

Exhaust Manifold Installation Note

1. Push the position shown in the figure and move the engine toward the left side of the vehicle.

NOTE:

  • The exhaust manifold can be installed by securing a space for installation. Therefore, the procedure is divided into one person moving the engine and one person installing the exhaust manifold.

2. Install the exhaust manifold.

3. Turn a shaft of SST (49 E017 5A0) and lower engine until engine mount rubber performs a sitting lightly in front crossmember.

4. Temporarily tighten the bolt as shown in the figure.

Flange Surface Installation Note

CAUTION:

  • If the TWC or main silencer is reused, sand the flange surface and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks before installing the seal ring.

  • If this work is not performed, the seal ring may not be installed correctly. When sanding the flange surface, be careful not to damage the surface.

  • When sanding the flange surface, sanding residue may get into the removed part or pipe resulting in deterioration or damage to the part. When sanding, make sure parts are protected from sanding residue or foreign matter penetration.

1. Sand the surface shown in the figure using sandpaper and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks.

2. Degrease the sanded surface.

Seal Ring Installation Note

CAUTION:

  • If the TWC or main silencer is reused, sand the flange surface and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks before installing the seal ring. If this work is not performed, the seal ring may not be installed correctly.

  • If installation is performed without using the SST, the seal ring will be damaged and deformed, resulting in an incorrect installation. Always use the SST to install the seal ring.

1. Temporarily install the seal ring to the pipe so that the seal ring is even with the flange.

2. Install the SST to the seal ring so that the SST is even with the flange.

3. Press in the seal ring by tapping the SST using a plastic hammer until the seal ring contacts the flange.
