WARNING
All fuels are very flammable and can burn or
cause an explosion. DO NOT use an open flame to
check the fuel level or to check for leaks in the
fuel system.
No smoking.
Breathing fuel vapor may cause nausea, uncon-
sciousness, or death. Long-term exposure to gas-
oline vapors may cause liver or kidney damage
and cancer. Avoid breathing vapor.
12.
Disconnect the fuel lines at the engine. Put caps
on fuel lines to prevent fuel leakage. See Fig-
ure 22.
13.
Disconnect the engine harness connectors from
the chassis harness connectors. See Figure 21.
14.
Disconnect engine wiring harness connectors
from proportional valve connectors, transducer
connectors, solenoid valve connector, tempera-
ture sensor connector, and transmission. See Fig-
ure 24.
15.
Remove exhaust pipe to exhaust manifold. See

16.
Use the access port on the side of engine and re-
move the four bolts that attached the flywheel to
the torque converter. See Figure 25.
17.
Connect a lifting device to the engine. Put a block
under the transmission housing to support the
transmission.
18.
Remove four capscrews from torque converter
housing and flywheel housing on transmission
side. See Figure 26.
19.
Remove six capscrews from flywheel housing and
torque converter housing on flywheel housing
side.
WARNING
The engine is heavy. Make sure that any lifting de-
vice has enough capacity to lift the engine. The
engine can weigh approximately 194 kg (428 lb).
20.
Remove the flange nuts, washers, capscrews,
and isolators from the engine mounts. Remove
engine adapter to transmission bolts, if equipped.
See Figure 21, Figure 27, and Figure 28.
CAUTION
When separating the engine away from the trans-
mission, place a piece of plywood in front of radi-
ator. This will keep the engine from damaging the
radiator.
CAUTION
Keep the engine level when the engine is separa-
ted from the transmission so the drive plate is not
damaged.
21.
Use the lifting device to carefully move the engine
away from the torque converter. Make sure all ho-
ses, wires, and cables are disconnected from the
engine, then lift the engine from the frame and
place engine on blocks.
22.
Remove torque converter from torque converter
housing.
