Removal And Installation: Tailpipe: Removal
CAUTION:
Do not use oil or grease-based lubricants on the isolators. These lubricants may cause deterioration of the rubber. This can lead to separation of the isolator from the exhaust hanger bracket during vehicle operation. Use only water-based lubricants on the isolators.
NOTE:
Exhaust fasteners are of a prevailing torque design. Use only new fasteners with the same part number as the original. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of exhaust components.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING article.
- Loosen the muffler assembly-to-tailpipe Torca® clamp.
- Disconnect the rubber isolator and remove the tailpipe.
