removal tool should be removed and the cavity filled with
grease. Install the clutch puller and use the impact wrench to
drive off the clutch. The combination of hydraulic pressure
(grease) and the impact wrench will remove the most stubborn
clutch. To prevent damage to the clutch, be sure to remove all
grease from the body of the clutch since grease penetrating the
seal may cause premature clutch failure.
It is not necessary to remove the engine to remove the
clutch. Refer to the CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE
TRANSMISSION (CVT) section for removal and installa­
tion with the engine installed in the vehicle.

COOLING SYSTEM CLEANING

At least once a year (or more often under adverse condi­
tions) the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning
will assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins.
Compressed air may be used for routine cooling system
maintenance (Ref Fig. 9 on page G-9).
Operation in wet or damp weather or over freshly cut
grass may result in a variety of debris accumulating and
adhering to the internal shroud and fins of the cooling
system. If this condition exist, proceed as follows:

NOTE
With the engine cold, direct a strong stream of water at
the cylinder head cooling fins beside the timing belt cover
(Ref Fig. 10 on page G-9).
