    Remove or disconnect the following:
    1. Negative battery cable
    2. Right front wheel and splash shield

    Place a block of wood between the torque strut and cradle to ease removal and installation of the torque engine mount.

    3. 3 right side upper engine torque axis-to-front cover nuts and the 2 mount-to-midrail bracket nuts, allowing the powertrain to rest on the block of wood
    4. Accessory drive belt
    5. Drive belt tensioner and pulley
    6. Power steering pump attaching bolts and set the pump to the side with the lines still attached
    7. A/C compressor from the bracket and set it to the side with the lines attached
    8. Camshaft cover
    9. Crankshaft damper/pulley
    10. Bolts securing timing chain cover to engine and oil pan. (There are 3 bolts that go throught the oil pan into the timing chain cover)

    FYI: Be careful when removing and installing the tensioner pulley. Where the bolt threads it patrudes from the cover and breaks easily.
