Removal and InstallationNBS005RL
CAUTION:

Be sure to use genuine exhaust system parts or equivalents which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance, and shape.

Perform the operation with the exhaust system fully cooled down because the system will be hot
just after engine stops.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the heat insulator edge.
REMOVAL

Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.

Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:
–Using heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), removal heated
oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Check for deformation of the grommets (18 and 20 of Components).

Insert the collar (17 of Components) vertically.

Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.

Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified
torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a con-
crete floor. Use a new one.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the
anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the “MIL” coming on.

If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.

When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.

Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.

Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehi-
cle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/
left directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Make sure clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.

With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.

Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

Precautions for HosesNAS0009K
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING

If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is
a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber
hose at that position.

Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.

After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction
of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Precautions for Engine OilsNAS0009L
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.

RID WEATHERSTRIP OVERLAP ADJUSTMENT AND SURFACE MISMATCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Tilt up glass lid then remove side trim.
2. After loosening glass lid from bolts (left and right), tilt down glass lid.
3. Adjust glass lid from outside of vehicle so it resembles “A–A” “B–B” “C–C” as shown in the figure.
4. To prevent glass lid from moving after adjustment, first tighten the bolts of front left, and then tighten the
bolts of rear right.
5. Tighten remaining bolts, being careful to prevent glass lid from moving.
6. Tilt glass lid up and down several times to check that it moves smoothly.
Removal and InstallationNIS00243

After any adjustment, check sunroof operation and glass lid alignment.

Handle finisher plate and glass lid with care so not to cause damage.

It is desirable for easy installation to mark each point before removal.
CAUTION:

Always work with a helper.

Fully close the glass lid assembly, before removal, then do not operate sunroof motor assembly
after removal.
