6. Using the heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), remove heated
oxygen sensors 2 (bank 1 and bank 2).
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor.
 Discard any heated oxyg en sensor which has been
dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor,
replace with a new sensor.
7. Remove exhaust mounting bracket between three way catalysts (right and left bank) and transmission. Refer to EX-3
.
8. Remove three way catalysts (right and left bank).
9. Disconnect air fuel ratio sensor 1 (bank 1 and bank 2) harness connectors and remove harness clip.
10. Using the heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), remove air fuel ratio sensor 1 (bank 1 and bank 2).
CAUTION:

Surface Distortion
 Check the surface distortion of the exhaust manifold mating sur-
face with a straightedge and a feeler gauge.
 If it exceeds the limit, replace exhaust manifold.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Exhaust Manifold Gasket
 Install exhaust manifold gasket in direction shown in the figure. (Follow same procedure for both banks.)
Exhaust Manifold
 If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specifiedtorque below.
 Install exhaust manifold and tighten mounting bolts in numerical
order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Tighten nuts No. 1 and 2 in two steps. The numerical order No. 7
and 8 shows second step.
