Exhaust system components, removing and installing
Note:
^ Always replace seals, gaskets and self-locking nuts.
^ All cable ties which are opened or cut open on removal must be replaced in same position when installing.
^ Any heat insulation sleeves which are taken off when removing must be re-attached in same position when installing.
^ After working on exhaust system ensure that system is not under stress, and that it has sufficient clearance from bodywork. If necessary, loosen clamps and align mufflers and exhaust pipes so that sufficient clearance is maintained to bodywork at all points and mountings are evenly loaded.
^ Flexible pipe connection (de-coupling element) in front exhaust pipe must not be bent more than 10° - otherwise it can be damaged.
