EXHAUST SYSTEM
• Be careful not to cut your ha nd on heat insulator edges.
CAUTION:
• Use genuine NISSAN exhaust system parts or equi valent, which are specially designed for heat
resistance, corrosion resistance and shape.
REMOVAL
Remove exhaust system components using power tools.
• Remove heated oxygen sensor using Tool as needed.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Always replace exhaust gaskets and seal bear ings with new ones when installing.
• Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean and apply an ti-seize lubricant to exhaust sys-
tem threads using suitable 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 co ncrete floor; install a new one.
• Do not over-tighten the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may damage the heated oxygen sensor,
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 ti ghten them to the specified torque.
• When installing each mounting rubb er, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left
directions.
