close to yoke. On right side: close to the

33. From under the vehicle, disconnect the
propeller shaft as detailed in Section 09,
under heading "Propeller Shaft Removal".
34. Inspect the power plant assembly to ensure
that nothing will interfere when sliding out
the cradle. Check for connections or hoses
not mentioned in this list as some vehicles
are equipped with special or aftermarket
components.
35. Remove the six retaining bolts, washers and
nuts securing the power plant cradle to the
vehicle rear subframe (Fig. 25).
NOTE
Check if any spacer(s) have been installed
between power plant cradle and vehicle rear
subframe, and if so, note position of each
washer for reinstallation purposes.
36. Using a suitable equipment, with a minimum
capacity of 4,000 lbs (1 800 kg), slightly
raise the power plant cradle.
37. Pull engine out slowly from the engine
compartment. Make sure all lines, wiring
and accessories are disconnected and are
not tangled.
CAUTION
Due to the minimum clearance between the
power plant equipment and the top of the
engine compartment, extreme care should be
used to raise the power plant cradle, just
enough to free the cradle. Clearance between
power plant cradle and mounting rail should
range between ¼" and ½" (6-12 mm).
