The elements of the exhaust system
WARNINGS Parts of the exhaust system become very hot, so touch on any of them is allowed only after complete cooling. Take special care when working close to the catalytic converter, which is heated to very high temperatures. |
Lift the car and establish on supports. Replacing parts of the exhaust system is basically in removing heat shields (if any), disconnect this part and its replacement. Heat shields and components mounting brackets must be installed on the same place, otherwise it may break. Due to high temperature and open location details exhaust system corrode, which causes them "tacking." To loosen rusted screw connections should use penetrant. However, in some cases it is necessary to separate the parts with a hacksaw or oxygen cutting. The latter type of work should be performed by experienced personnel.
