Removal Procedure
1. Place drain pans under the vehicle as necessary.
2. Remove as much power steering fluid from the remote power steering fluid reservoir as possible.
3. Install the engine support fixture.
4. Remove the right front tire and wheel assembly.
5. Remove the right front engine splash shield.
6. Remove the steering gear heat shield.
7. Remove the right side engine mount lower nuts.
8. Remove the left side transmission mount lower nuts.
Notice: Do NOT allow the wheel drive shaft constant velocity joint to contact the inner wheel structure. Use care when raising the engine in order
to prevent wheel drive shaft constant velocity joint damage.
9. Lift the engine upward using the engine support fixture in order to allow the right side engine mount studs to separate from the cradle. This will
allow the power steering gear inlet pressure hose to pass under the left side engine mount location during removal and installation.
10. Remove the right side engine mount/bracket assembly.
Important: The hose connector stays on the pressure hose.
11. Disconnect the pressure hose from the power steering pump.
