F. Using masking tape, mark the edges of the
support brace that the body side panel was
bolted to. This will help you in the re-
assembly. (See Fig. 2-5.)
G. Disconnect the plug to the hood switch, and,
if needed, disconnect the driver’s side hood
piston. Unbolt the power steering reservoir
bracket. Remove the six 13mm head bolts
securing the support brace (that was marked
in step 6). Use a 60º offset wrench to
remove the two bolts closest to the driver’s
side headlight. Disconnect the wiring har-
ness from the support brace and remove the
brace.
H. Ease the tension on the 6 rib belt by loosen-
ing the 15mm nut on the tensioner pulley,
then loosen the 13mm head lead screw.
Remove the belt.
I. Drain the power steering fluid by discon-
necting the large hose at the pump and the
smaller hose near the steering rack. Remove
the reservoir, hood switch assembly, and
lines. Remove the two plastic clips that
secure the metal lines from the rack and pin-
ion. Disconnect the metal line that runs from
the pump to the rack and pinion and remove.
J. Disconnect the electrical connections to the
alternator and use a 15mm socket to remove
the alternator, alternator bracket, and brace.
(See Fig. 2-6.)
K. Remove the three 13mm head bolts securing
the Drive Belt tensioner to the front of the
engine. Remove the tensioner.
L. From underneath the vehicle, remove the
A/C belt using the same procedure as in step
8. Remove the two 15mm bolts that secure
the tensioner assembly and remove the
assembly.
M. If required, remove the belt guard near the
A/C compressor using a 13mm socket.
N. Remove the passenger side body side panel
as you did the driver’s side panel in step 2 to
gain access to the air filter box, and remove
the box assembly from the vehicle.
Disconnect and remove the plastic pipe
going into the throttle body. You will have to
loosen the coolant overflow bottle from the
frame in order to create enough space to
remove the air box. Disassembling the air
box and removing the filter and box in
pieces simplifies the removal.
O. Disconnect the heater hose from the thermo-
stat. (Make sure that you have a drain pan
directly underneath it.) Remove the thermo-
stat housing using a 10mm socket. Modify
the thermostat housing, as shown in
Appendix 7000105. Pry the heater pipe
slightly away from the neck so that the radi-
ator hose will slide back on. (See Fig. 2-7.)
Be careful not to cave in the neck.
Reconnect the heater hose and reinstall the
thermostat housing using the original gasket
