Removing and installing parts of exhaust system

Notes:

  • ◆ Always replace seals, gaskets and self-locking nuts.
  • ◆ After working on the exhaust system ensure that the system is not under stress, and that it has sufficient clearance from the body. If necessary, loosen clamping sleeve and align silencers and exhaust pipe so that sufficient clearance is maintained to the body at all points and the mountings are evenly loaded.
  • ◆ Slacken and tighten clamping plates for heat shields with a screwdriver.
    Tightening torque: 2 Nm
  • ◆ The isolating element in front exhaust pipe must not be deflected more than 10°to avoid damage.
