REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF POWER UNIT WITH
LIFTING HOOK 786202
Installation
1. Check that the inner universal joints are filled with
the appropriate grease. The joints must be complete-
ly filled with grease upon assembly.
2. Lift the power unit into the engine compartment,
using lifting device No. 786202.
3. Lower the power unit so far that the engine brackets
are about 2 in. (50 mm) from the engine cushions.
4. Place the T-pieces of the drive shafts in the inner
universal joints. Do this with the T-pieces located
vertically and with the power unit pushed over as
far as possible in the opposite direction. Assemble
first on the lett side and then on the right.
5. Lower the power unit so far that the ou l pan rests
against the lower cross member. Transfer the left
retaining iron of the lifting device to the upper
screw for attachment of the gearbox on the left
side. (This facilitates the next operation, as it gives
a more suitable distribution of the weight.)
6. Lift the unit again and fit the transmission pin into
the rear engine bracket and the gear rod into the hole
in the dash panel.
This operation will be easier to carry out if an assis-
tant guides the transmission pin in through the rear
engine bracket with the aid of a suitable arbor.
If necessary, also back off the four retaining screws
for the steering gear so as to get more room.

engine bracket. Refit the insulating washer.
NOTE
Check that the limiting washer on the rear of the en-
gine bracket is in position and that it is turned in the
right direction, see Fig. This washer serves to limit
the forward movement of the power unit. If the
washer is missing, there is a risk that the cooling fan
will collide with the radiator if the brakes are applied
powerfully.
