Special Service Tool
The actual shapes of Kent-Moore tools may differ from those of special service tools illustrated here.
CAUTION: • Every time the vehicle is lifted up, maintain the complete vehicle curb condition.

• Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle, suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the front side garage jack with a transmission jack or equivalent.

Garage Jack and Safety Stand
WARNING: • Park the vehicle on a level surface when using the jack. Make sure to avoid damaging pipes, tubes, etc. under the vehicle.

• Lift at reinforced area of front suspension member where lower control arm attaches, staying in center line of wheels.

When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable, fuel lines and sill spoiler.
