4. Remove the protective panel located on the underside of the vehicle.
5. Remove the steering gear jumper (see chapter 11).
6. When performing the procedure on a four-wheel drive vehicle, it is necessary to remove the transmission axle shafts and intermediate shaft (see chapter 8).
7. When performing the procedure on a four-wheel drive vehicle, it is necessary to disconnect the front driveshaft from the differential gear flange (see chapter 8).
8. Drain the engine oil (see chapter 1).
9. Disconnect the transmission oil cooler lines from the clamps located on the side of the engine.
10. When performing the procedure on an all-wheel drive vehicle, it is necessary to unscrew the differential mounting bolts from the engine pan and tie it to the load-bearing element of the body with a thick wire or cable.
11. Unscrew the bolts that secure the pan to the gearbox housing, then unscrew the bolts securing the pan to the cylinder block.
12. Install two mounting bolts for the pallet into the mounting holes. Carefully and gradually tighten the bolts until the pan is separated from the cylinder block.
