The FSM covers this, and alldata.com (USA we are and links)
and at suzukipitstopplus (real fsm sold there)
posted many times now here, did you search.?
i posted every step just this week.
here is remove , it , list (not doing all 50 steps. sorry)
quote FSM>
the process of removing the engine, you will come across a number of steps which call for the removal of a separate component or system, such as "disconnect the exhaust system'' or "remove the radiator.'' In most instances, a detailed removal procedure can be found elsewhere. It is virtually impossible to list each individual wire and hose which must be disconnected. Careful observation and common sense are the best possible approaches to any repair procedure.
Removal and installation of the engine can be made easier if you follow these basic points:

  • If you have to drain any of the fluids, use a suitable container.
  • Always tag any wires or hoses and, if possible, the components they came from before disconnecting them.
  • Because there are so many bolts and fasteners involved, store and label the retainers from components separately in muffin pans, jars or coffee cans. This will prevent confusion during installation.
  • After unbolting the transmission or transaxle, always make sure it is properly supported.
  • If it is necessary to disconnect the air conditioning system, have this service performed by a qualified technician using a recovery/recycling station. If the system does not have to be disconnected, unbolt the compressor and set it aside.
  • When unbolting the engine mounts, always make sure the engine is properly supported. When removing the engine, make sure that any lifting devices are properly attached to the engine. It is recommended that if your engine is supplied with lifting hooks, your lifting apparatus be attached to them.
  • Lift the engine from its compartment slowly, checking that no hoses, wires or other components are still connected.
  • After the engine is clear of the compartment, place it on an engine stand or workbench.
  • After the engine has been removed, you can perform a partial or full teardown of the engine, as required.
  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure on fuel injected vehicles.
  2. Using a scratch awl, scribe the hood hinge-to-hood outline, then, using an assistant remove the hood.
  3. Make a note of all radio pre-sets and the radio code.
  4. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the cooling system. CAUTION When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by the ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a seal-able container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
  5. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Remove the radiator assembly along with the cooling fan.
  6. Disconnect and tag all necessary electrical connections.
  7. Disconnect and tag all necessary vacuum lines.
  8. Disconnect, tag and plug all necessary fuel lines.
  9. Disconnect the heater inlet and outlet hoses.
  10. Disconnect the following cables:
    • The accelerator cable from the throttle body or carburetor.
    • The clutch cable from the transaxle (for manual transaxle models).
    • The gear select cable and the oil pressure control cable from the transaxle (for automatic transaxle models).
    • The speedometer cable from the transaxle.
  11. Raise and safely support the vehicle safely.
  12. Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold.
  13. Disconnect the gear shift control shaft and the extension to the transaxle for (manual transaxle models).
  14. Drain the engine oil and transaxle oil.
  15. Remove the drive axles from the differential side gears of the transaxle. For the engine/transaxle removal, it is not necessary to remove the drive axle from the steering knuckle.
  16. Remove the engine rear torque rod bracket from the transaxle (for automatic transaxle models).
  17. Lower the vehicle.
  18. Install a suitable chain hoist to the lifting device on the engine.
  19. Remove the right side engine mounting from its bracket.
  20. On vehicles equipped with a automatic transaxle, remove the transaxle rear mounting nut.
  21. On vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle, remove the transaxle rear mounting from the body.
  22. Remove the transaxle left side mounting bracket.
  23. Lift the engine and transaxle assembly out from the vehicle. Separate the transaxle from the engine.

Were can i get a free workshop manual for 1998 Suzuki swift cino in english for australia

join an Australian Forum, ever consider that<?
Our forum is USA and we don't have any books on your cars.
not only that, there is no PDF back in 1998. so some poor guy/gal
would have to scan it page by page front and back for a week.
no one has yet.. sorry, (hope im wrong but , i bet not !)
best place for real used book is on ebay (Australian, version)

in fact, our forum forgets to even ask that. step 1. Sadly.

Suzuki swift Headlight problem

Have you checked to see if this is a wiring problem or maybe a relay problem?

Recently my lights would work on side lights and not anything else and this was down to dodgy wiring and needed a new relay unit.
