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.
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 aligning it to the locator dimples.
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. Install spring (3), tighten bolt (4). • Be careful that the stud bolt does not interfere with the flanged
area ( ).
• Make sure the spring (3) sits properly on the flange surface by
aligning it to the locator dimples.
