Front Cover Removal
1. Unclip the lower splash shield attachment clips and place a 1 in. x 1 in. x 2 in. long block of wood between the torque strut and cradle.
IMPORTANT: Installation of the wood block prior to upper engine torque axis mount removal allows the mount to be easily installed without
lifting or jacking the powertrain.
2. Remove the three right-hand, upper engine torque axis mount to front cover nuts and the two mount to midrail bracket nuts, allowing the
powertrain to rest on the block of wood, and remove mount.
