REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Fig. 1: When removing nuts, bolts and other parts, place them in a tray or other container

1,586cc Engine
  1. Scribe the locations of the hood hinges and remove the hood.
  2. Remove the engine splash shield.
  3. Drain the coolant.

    CAUTION
    When draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.

  4. Drain the engine oil.

    CAUTION
    The EPA warns that prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause a number of skin disorders, including cancer! You should make every effort to minimize you exposure to used engine oil. Protective gloves should be worn when changing the oil. Wash your hands and any other exposed skin areas as soon as possible after exposure to used engine oil. Soap and water, or waterless hand cleaner should be used.
