10. Disconnect the steering harness connector, loosen the mounting nut and disconnect the steering harness ground cable from the body panel - try to remember the wiring diagram, then lower the latter down onto the steering gear housing.
11. If equipped, remove the engine cover (see chapter 2) and remove the intake duct (see chapter 4).
12. Hang the power unit from above. To hang the power unit at branded stations, use a special universal kit (see resist. illustration), depending on the engine model, the rigging equipment is mounted in the appropriate order. This kit allows you to hang the unit on a special cross beam, which is installed on the front side members of the car above the engine compartment. It also allows, within certain limits, sufficient for repair work, to raise and lower the power unit.
