Procedures

PROCEDURE 1 (for vehicles produced after VIN JMIBK34**71708397)

1. Place the floorjack on the transmission case, then jack up the vehicle until the front-side height of the vehicle gets slightly higher.

Plate dimensions: 150 mm (6 inches) x 150 mm (6 inches) x 10 mm (a half inch) or more (thickness).

2. Using a hand tool, loosen the No. 4 engine mount securing bolt (M14/8T) by one or two turns, then remove the bolt by hand.

NOTE:
If the transmission case has not been jacked up enough, the bolt cannot be removed by hand.





3. Insert a new No. 4 engine mount securing bolt (M14/10T, one piece), then temporarily tighten it by hand until the seating surface of the bolt touches the No. 4 engine mount.

NOTE:
^ To prevent cross threading be sure to start the bolt by hand.

^ If it is difficult to start the bolt, shake the engine back and forth by hand and adjust the bolt hole position.

4. Tighten the No. 4 engine mount securing bolt (M14/10T) to the following specified torque.

Tightening torque: 141.3 Nm (14.4 kgf-cm, 104.2 ft-lbf)

5. Re-assemble in the reverse order of removal.

6. Set the radio presets.

PROCEDURE 2 (for vehicles produced before VIN JM1BK34**71708396)

^ Move the slider rubber mount backward.





^ Remove the strap.

3. In order to prevent any foreign substance from entering the air hose, cover it with a shop towel.





4. Pull up the harness clip lock of the harness bracket and unlock, then move the harness toward the front-side of the vehicle and remove.





5. Remove the battery bracket bolts (M6, two pieces) and No. 4 engine mount securing nuts (M10, four pieces), then remove the battery bracket.





6. Place the floorjack on the transmission case, then jack up the vehicle until the front-side height of the vehicle gets slightly higher.

NOTE:
Insert a plate between the jack and transmission case in order to avoid damage on the transmission case.

Plate dimensions: 150 mm (6 inches) x 150 mm (6 inches) x 10 mm (a half inch) or more (thickness)





7. Using a hand tool, loosen the No. 4 engine mount securing bolt (M14/8T) by one or two turns, then remove the bolt by hand.

NOTE:
If the transmission case has not been jacked up enough, the bolt cannot be removed by hand.

8. Remove the No. 4 engine mount, then remove any rubber from the mount-to-bracket mating surface and sidewalls. As for the procedure and area of the rubber to be removed, please see the following:





^ Make a cut on the rubber on the sidewall area (four locations).





^ Using a long-nose pliers, remove the rubber from the front and rear-sides sidewalls.





^ Make sure that there is no rubber remaining on the No. 4 engine mount bracket contact surface (the surface where there is a bolt hole).





9. Reinstall the No. 4 engine mount with a new securing bolt (M14/10T, one piece), then temporarily tighten it by hand until the seating surface of the bolt touches the No. 4 engine mount.

CAUTION:
To prevent cross threading be sure to start the bolt by hand.

NOTE:
If it is difficult to start the bolt, shake the engine back and forth by hand and adjust the bolt hole position.





10. Lower the transmission case until the No. 4 engine mount lightly touches the body.

NOTE:
Make sure of the light fitting of the No. 4 engine mount so that it can be moved by hand during No. 4 engine mount location adjustment procedure to be performed later.





11. While moving the engine by hand, adjust so that the body-side stud bolt comes into the center of all the four holes on the No. 4 engine mount, then lower the garage jack and lower the transmission case.
