Engine Exhaust Assembly (4GR-FSE): Installation
- INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE BAFFLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Align the baffle with the protruding part of the tail exhaust pipe assembly as shown in the illustration.
- Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap the baffle sub-assemblies onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly.
- INSTALL EXHAUST PIPE DAMPER
- Install the exhaust pipe damper with the 2 bolts. Torque: 19 Nm (194 kgfcm, 14 ftlbf)
- INSTALL TAIL EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
- Install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with the 6 exhaust pipe supports.
- INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
- Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs. Minimum length: 38.5 mm (1.516 in.). If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
- Install a new gasket to the rear end of the front exhaust pipe.
- Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
- Do not reuse the gasket.
- To ensure a proper seal, do not use the tail exhaust pipe to force the gasket onto the front exhaust pipe.
- Install 3 new gaskets and front exhaust pipe assembly.
- Install the 2 bolts and 2 compression springs. Torque: 43 Nm (438 kgfcm, 32 ftlbf)
- Install 4 new nuts and 4 bolts. Torque: 62 Nm (632 kgfcm, 46 ftlbf).
NOTICE:
HINT: Using a plastic hammer, uniformly strike the gasket so that the gasket and front exhaust pipe are properly fit.
CAUTION: Do not reuse the gaskets.NOTICE: Do not reuse the nuts.
- INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for 2WD)
- Before installing the heated oxygen sensors, twist the sensor wires counterclockwise 4 turns.
- Using the SST, install the heated oxygen sensors to the front exhaust pipe. SST: 09224-00010. Torque: 44 Nm (449 kgfcm, 33 ftlbf).
- After installing the sensors, check that the sensor wires are not twisted. If the sensor wires are twisted, reinstall them.
- Install the grommets of the heated oxygen sensors.
- INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for 4WD)
- Before installing the sensors, twist the sensor wires counterclockwise 4 turns.
- Using the SST, install the heated oxygen sensors to the front exhaust pipe. SST: 09224-00010. Torque: 44 Nm (449 kgfcm, 33 ftlbf).
- After installing the sensors, check that sensor wires are not twisted. If the sensor wires are twisted, reinstall them.
- Install the grommets of heated oxygen sensors.
- INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE
- Install the front center floor brace with the 4 bolts. Torque: 7.4 Nm (75 kgfcm, 65 inlbf).
- INSTALL REAR NO. 1 FLOOR PANEL BRACE
- Install the rear No. 1 floor panel brace with the 4 bolts. Torque: 19 Nm (194 kgfcm, 14 ftlbf).
- CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAKS
- If exhaust gas is leaking, tighten the related parts to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.
