Kia Optima: Removal
| • |
Use fender covers to
avoid damaging painted surfaces. |
| • |
To avoid damaging the
cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below
normal temperature before removing it. |
| • |
When handling a metal
gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface
of the gasket. |
| • |
To avoid damage, unplug
the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion. |
|
|
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. |
