Exhaust System Removal/Installation: Notes
WARNING:
- A hot engine and exhaust system can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before removing the exhaust system.
CAUTION:
- If the main silencer or TWC is reused, sand the flange surface and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks before installing the seal ring.
- If this work is not performed, the seal ring may not be installed correctly. When sanding the flange surface, be careful not to damage the surface.
- When sanding the flange surface, sanding residue may get into the removed part or pipe resulting in deterioration or damage to the part. When sanding, make sure parts are protected from sanding residue or foreign matter penetration.
- Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Remove the plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Remove in the order indicated in the table.
- Remove the exhaust system insulator. (See EXHAUST SYSTEM INSULATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION NOTE .)
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
