Use the engine support fixture to first fix it to the engine while raising the vehicle securely in order to service or repair the Oil Pan. Drain the engine oil, then remove the right side mount to cradle bolts, left side mount to cradle bolts, the right side mount to shock absorber lower bolts, and the left side mount to shock absorber lower bolts. Then, elaborate from the
Steering Shaft bolt, the intermediation and the rack pinions and underlay the engine cradle with the proper equipment. Disconnect the oil level sensor electrical connector and remove the oil level sensor of the Oil Pan so that it doesn't sustain any damage. Proceed to compress the
Starter motor, front crossmember bolts and the Oil Pan bolts first in order to bend the rear of the Oil Pan whilst tilting it outwards in order to remove together with the Oil Pan Gasket. Clean the mating surface for Oil Pan Gasket before fitting a new Oil Pan pan gasket and the Oil Pan. Tighten the Oil Pan bolts to 14nm (10 ft. Lbs.), and then tighten the front crossmember bolts: upper four bolts to 125 nm (92 ft. Lbs.), lower bolts to 145 nm (107 ft. Lbs.). Now re-install the Starter motor and the oil level sensor on the Oil Pan, follow by tightening to 20 nm (15ft. Lbs) follow by the electrical connector on the oil level sensor. Removal of the equipment that supported the engine cradle, then installation of the intermediate Steering Shaft from the
Rack And Pinion, tightening intermediate shaft bolt to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Mount and secure the right and the left side shock absorber lower mounting studs in 65 nm (48 ft. Lbs.); following this secure the left side
Engine Mount to cradle bolts at 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.) and right side Engine Mount to cradle at 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.). Finally, lower the vehicle, then detach the engine support fixture, and change the engine oil and filter.
