REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Be sure to use genuine NISSAN 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 the engine stops.
Be careful not to cut your hand on heat insulator edge.
1. Disconnect harness connector of heated oxygen sensor 2.
Using Tool, remove heated oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
a.2. Disconnect each joint and mounting rubber.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bearings with new ones when installing.
Discard any heated oxygen sensor 2 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; use a new one.
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor 2, clean exhaust system threads using the heated
oxygen sensor thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
Do not over tighten heated oxygen sensor 2. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen
sensor 2, resulting in the “MIL” coming on.
Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
exhaust leakage.
Temporarily tighten nuts on the exhaust manifold side and bolts on the vehicle 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.
Exhaust Manifold to Exhaust Front Tube
1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust manifold (1) side in
the direction shown.
Exhaust front tube (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. Install spring (3), tighten nut (4).
Be careful that the stud bolt nut does not interfere with the
flanged area ( ).
Make sure the spring (3) sits properly on the flange surface by
align it to the locator dimples.Tool number : KV10114400 (J-38365)PBIC3797E

Exhaust Front Tube to Center Muffler
1. Securely insert seal bearing (2) into exhaust front tube (1) side
in the direction shown.
Center muffler (5)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage seal bearing surface when install-
ing.
2. With spring (3), tighten bolt (4).
Be careful that the stud bolt does not interfere with the flanged
area ( ).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
With the engine running, check exhaust tube joints for exhaust leakage and unusual noise.
Check to ensure that brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress.
Improper installation could result in excessive noise and vibration.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
CautionEDS003QM
Observe the following precautions when disassembling and assembling drive shaft.
Joint sub-assembly does not disassemble because it is non-overhaul parts.
Perform work in a location which is as dust-free as possible.
Before disassembling and assembling, clean the outside of parts.
Prevention of the entry of foreign objects must be taken into account during disassembly of the service
location.
Disassembled parts must be carefully reassembled in the correct order. If work is interrupted, a clean
cover must be placed over parts.
Paper shop cloths must be used. Fabric shop cloths must not be used because of danger of lint adhering
to parts.
Disassembled parts (except for rubber parts) should be cleaned with kerosene which shall be removed by
blowing with air or wiping with paper shop cloths.
