Note. The following is a description of mounting the engine on a disassembly stand using the bearing surface on the gearbox side. When using a stand of a different design, the necessary differences must be taken into account.
1. Remove the engine and gearbox assembly from the vehicle and disconnect the gearbox from the engine.
2. Install the engine on the dismantling stand as follows:
Fix the shaft with a special tool (Mot. 1770) and unscrew the mounting bolts, then remove the flywheel (versions with manual transmission) or drive disk (versions with automatic transmission).
Attention. Do not disassemble the flywheel.
Lift the engine with a winch and place it on a disassembly stand (A).
Attention. It is necessary to use an engine dismantling stand of the appropriate load capacity (approximately 225 kg or more). If the load capacity of the dismantling stand is less than necessary, it is necessary to remove some of the components from the engine before installing it on the stand: intake manifold, exhaust manifold, rocker cover.
Note. The figure shows the most widely used engine dismantling stand, using the bearing surface of the cylinder block on the transmission side with the flywheel removed (versions with manual transmissions) or drive disk (versions with automatic transmissions).
Attention. Before removing the winch slings from the engine, make sure that the dismantling stand is securely installed and there is no risk of tipping over.
3. Drain engine oil.
Note. Make sure the drain plug is clean and install it with a new gasket.
