Checking Exhaust SystemEBS00M3X
Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage or deterioration.

If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Removal and InstallationEBS00M3Y
Exhaust System
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. The system will be hot just after the
engine stops.

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

REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and lube the exhaust tube threads using Tool.

Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; replace with a new one.

Do not over-torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.

If any mounting insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on
the mounting insulators, clean and inspect them.

Temporarily tighten the nuts on the exhaust manifold side and the bolts on the vehicle side. Check
each part for interference with other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specifica-
tion.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

With the 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. Tool number

Use new bolts when installing the wheel hub and bearing assembly.

When installing disc rotor on wheel hub and bearing assembly,
position the disc rotor according to alignment mark.
(When not using the alignment mark, refer to BR-21, "
Removal
and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly and Disc Rotor" .)

When installing wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "Rotation" .

sively extend slide joint.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Move joint up, down, left, right, and in axial direction. Check for any rough movement or significant loose-
ness.

Check boot for cracks or other damage, and for grease leakage.

If damaged, disassemble drive shaft to verify damage, and
repair or replace as necessary.
