Removal

1.	Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery (-) terminal.

2.	Remove the under cover. (Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "Engine Room Under Cover")

3.	Disconnect the engine clutch actuator connector (A) and hose (B).

Loosen the engine clutch actuator bolts (A) and then remove the engine clutch actuator.

Tightening torque :

21.6 - 26.5 N.m (2.2 - 2.7 kgf.m, 15.9 - 19.5 lb-ft)

Make sure that the hydraulic fluid or foreign substance does not enter the connector assembly of the actuator.

Installation

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Before installing the engine clutch actuator, check the assembled state of the O-rings (A).

After replacing the engine clutch actuator, operate the followings in order using GDS / KDS equipment.
