Exhaust Pipe Removal and Installation
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the exhaust system when the system is hot. Any service on the exhaust system should be performed when the system is cool.
CAUTION:
Exhaust pipe No.1 has oxidation catalytic converter in it, it should not be exposed to any impulse.
Be careful not to drop it or hit it against something.
Removal
Reference: Exhaust System Components:K9K
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Remove gear shift control lever referring to Gear Shift Control Lever Assembly Removal and Installation:K9K Model .
3) Remove propeller shaft No.1 and No.2 referring to Propeller Shaft Removal and Installation .
4) Support transmission with transmission jack.
5) Remove rear mounting bracket (1) and gear shift control arm (2), and then slant transmission downward.
6) Remove pressure plate block bolts (1) and catalyst stiffener bolts (2), and then remove catalyst stiffener No.1 (5), catalyst stiffener No.2 (3) and pressure plate (4).
7) Remove exhaust pipe No.1 (6), No.2, center pipe and muffler referring to Exhaust System Components:K9K .
Installation
Reverse removal procedure for installation noting the following.
1) Install exhaust pipe No.1 (1) as follows.
a) Install pressure plate (1) and catalyst stiffener No.1 (7) to exhaust pipe No.1 (2).
b) Install exhaust pipe No.1 to turbocharger (3), and then tighten exhaust pipe nuts (4) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Exhaust pipe nut (without flange) ( a ): 27 N·m ( 2.7 kg-m, 19.5 lb-ft)
Exhaust pipe nut (with flange) ( a ): 29 N·m ( 2.9 kg-m, 21.0 lb-ft)
c) Tighten catalyst stiffener bolts (5) and pressure plate block bolts (6) temporarily.
Tightening torque
Catalyst stiffener bolt ( b ): Tighten 27 N·m (2.7 kgf-m, 19.5 lbf-ft) by the procedure.
Pressure plate block bolt ( c ): Tighten 27 N·m (2.7 kgf-m, 19.5 lbf-ft) by the specified procedure.
d) Tighten catalyst stiffener bolts and pressure plate block bolts specified torque by numerical order as shown in figure.
2) Tighten each bolt and nut to specified torque referring to Exhaust System Components:K9K .
3) After installation, start engine and check each joint of exhaust system for leakage.
