  A: A 2ZR-FE engine needs engine fuel pressure discharge as the first step to remove its Crankshaft Main Bearing Seal. The repair process begins by discarding the battery and its tray along with the front wheels and engine under hood covers from both left and right sides. Engine coolant should be drained together with manual and automatic transaxle oils when applicable. The technician needs to remove the front wiper arm head cap followed by both front wiper arm and blade assemblies (LH and RH) along with hood to cowl top seal cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and left and right cowl top ventilator louvers. The service requires removing the front wiper motor and link together with front air shutter seal (RH) and outer cowl top panel followed by air cleaner assembly and air cleaner bracket then battery carrier and No. 2 cylinder head cover. Next steps include the removal of fan & generator V belt and No. 2 radiator hose then separating front bumper cover and disconnecting No. 1 radiator hose and No. 1 oil cooler outlet hose as well as No. 2 oil cooler inlet hose (for automatic transaxle). The service procedure begins with extracting the hood lock assembly and No. 1 cooler cover, upper radiator support absorber, and upper radiator support sub-assembly and radiator assembly. To complete engine dismantling remove the pulley compressor assembly, transmission control cable assembly (for automatic and manual transaxles), union to check valve hose, No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose, engine wire and two heater water hose connections with labels A and inlet A and the fuel tube sub-assembly. The technician should remove the clutch release cylinder assembly (for manual transaxle) and column hole cover silencer sheet, steering sliding yoke sub-assembly, No. 1 steering column hole cover sub-assembly, shift lever knob sub-assembly (for manual transaxle), console panel upper, console box cover rear, console box carpet, rear console box assembly, front console box, front floor brace center, front exhaust pipe assembly, front axle shaft LH nut, and front axle shaft RH nut.

Erase the front drive shaft assemblies (LH and RH) and (for automatic transaxle) discard the flywheel housing under cover and drive plate with torque converter clutch setting bolt. The service professional must detach the transmission oil level gauge sub-assembly (for automatic transaxle) while separating the transmission oil filler tube sub-assembly (for automatic transaxle) before extracting the automatic transaxle assembly (for automatic transaxle). The service process requires removal of the No. 1 transmission control cable bracket alongside manual transaxle assembly, clutch cover assembly, clutch disc assembly, drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly (for automatic transaxle) and flywheel sub-assembly (for manual transaxle). The engine rear oil seal can be removed by first cutting off the oil seal lip then using a screwdriver to extract it.
