Toyota Corolla 1988-1997 Repair Guide

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

In the process of removing the engine, you
will come across a number of steps which call
for the removal of a separate component or
system, such as "disconnect the exhaust
system'' or "remove the radiator.'' In most
instances, a detailed removal procedure can
be found elsewhere in this guide.

It is virtually impossible to list each individual
wire and hose which must be disconnected,
simply because so many different model and
engine combinations have been
manufactured. Careful observation and
common sense are the best possible
approaches to any repair procedure.

Removal and installation of the engine can be
made easier if you follow these basic points:

If you have to drain any of the fluids,
use a suitable container.

Always tag any wires or hoses and, if
possible, the components they came
from before disconnecting them.

Because there are so many bolts and
fasteners involved, store and label the
retainers from components separately
in muffin pans, jars or coffee cans. This
will prevent confusion during
installation.

After unbolting the transmission or
transaxle, always make sure it is
properly supported.

If it is necessary to disconnect the air
conditioning system, have this service
performed by a qualified technician
using a recovery/recycling station. If
the system does not have to be
disconnected, unbolt the compressor
and set it aside.

When unbolting the engine mounts,
always make sure the engine is
properly supported. When removing the
engine, make sure that any lifting
devices are properly attached to the
engine. It is recommended that if your
engine is supplied with lifting hooks,
your lifting apparatus be attached to
them.

Lift the engine from its compartment
slowly, checking that no hoses, wires or
other components are still connected.

After the engine is clear of the
compartment, place it on an engine
stand or workbench.

can perform a partial or full teardown of
the engine using the procedures
outlined in this guide.
