When removing the oil pan, be careful not to damage the mating surface between the lower crankcase and oil pan using the SST (09215 - 3C000).

•	Insert the SST between the oil pan and the lower crankcase by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of the arrow .

•	After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction of arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove the oil pan from the lower crankcase.

•	Never use the SST such as a prybar with inserted between the oil pan and the lower crankcase. Otherwise, it may damage the blade of SST.

Installation

Install the oil pan.

(1)	Before assembling the oil pan, remove the hardening sealant, foreign material, oil, dust, moisture remaining on the sealing surface and on the mating part.

(2)
